Coconut, Sweet Potato, Spinach & Chickpea Curry
Our dairy-free coconut milk powder is a convenient alternative to liquid coconut milk, as you can add as little or as much as you like to recipes, then re-seal the bag to keep it fresh.
Our coconut milk powder is gluten and dairy-free and contains 65% coconut oil, to give you a good hit of lauric acid! Blend it with a selection of vegetables and a good quality curry powder, to provide a healthy, hearty dinner. Dried coconut milk has a much longer shelf life than liquid coconut milk once opened, so you’ll waste less. Its a great thickening agent for desserts or cakes and it gives a creamy consistency to curries and hot drinks.
Below is a recipe for two people, using The Coconut Company vegan coconut milk powder, sweet potato, chickpeas and spinach:
Serves 2
Ingredients
1 large sweet potato
2 small potatoes
1 can of chickpeas
100g fresh spinach
40g of dairy-free coconut milk powder (2 heaped tablespoons)
150g basmati rice
2 teaspoons of curry powder of your choice
2 handfuls of chopped coriander (optional)
Lime wedges to serve (optional)
Salt & pepper to season
Boiling water
Peel the sweet potato and potatoes and cut into 2cm chunks. Boil for 10 minutes to soften.
Wash the basmati rice and boil for 10 minutes. Take off the heat and leave to stand.
Heat 40g of dairy-free coconut milk powder in a pan for 30 seconds whilst stirring. Make sure it doesn’t burn.
Add 500ml of water into the pan and bring to the boil, stirring continuously until the coconut milk powder has dissolved.
Add the sweet potato, curry powder, potato and drained chickpeas to the pan of coconut milk and leave to simmer for another 5 minutes. Stir well.
Add the fresh spinach to the pan and stir until it wilts.
Add more boiling water, coconut milk powder or salt if required to your desired taste levels.
Serve alongside the basmati rice, with chopped coriander on top and lime wedges on the side.
