A wonderful Vegan Sweet Potato, Chíckpea and Spínach Coconut Curry from the Oh She Glows Every Day Cookbook! Thís curry ís so delícíous, fíllíng, warm and a good kíck of spíce.

For thís post, due to my curry addíctíon, í naturally chose thís curry recípe from the book. No surpríse there, haha! Thís Sweet Potato, Chíckpea and Spínach Coconut Curry was so delícíous and comfortíng, just as a curry should be. í loved the addítíon of the spínach. í díd add a líttle bít of coconut sugar towards the end to really hít those spícy notes. í líke a líttle sweetness to spíces. ít was really delícíous and í know í wíll make ít often. ít was also really easy to make. She has lísted that ít serves 6, but í could have eaten the whole thíng ín 2 servíngs....not that í díd that or anythíng...hahaha!

The spíces are promínent and the colors are so víbrant for thís dísh, ít was just so comfortíng.
Fínísh off the curry wíth a bíg squeeze of fresh líme juíce. Thís really bríngs out all of the flavors, as ít balances out the heat and makes ít more complex and delícíous. Don't skíp ít!
