Equipment

  • 3.5L slow cooker

Ingredients
 

  • 500 gram potato, diced
  • 300 gram Sweet potato diced
  • large Onion diced
  • 400 gram can chickpeas, drained
  • 400 gram Can diced tomatoes
  • 270 ml can light coconut milk mixed with 1tsp cornflour
  • 3 tsp minced ginger
  • 2 tsp Minced garlic
  • 1-2 tsp curry powder (see note)
  • 1 tsp ground cumin.
  • 1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper
  • 60 gram Baby spinach leaves

Instructions
 

  • Combine all ingredients (except spinach) in slow cooker
  • Cook on HIGH for 5hrs (adding the spinach in the final 20mins to wilt)
  • Notes:
    1 tsp curry for mild tastes and 2 or more for those who like some extra heat
    Times are for 3.5L slow cooker. A larger cooker will cook faster as it’s emptier. Adjust to suit yours and keep cooking until potato is lovely and tender.
    I served with some steamed vegetarian dumplings.
