To create a luscious sauce, we introduce vegetable broth and creamy coconut milk, resulting in a harmonious blend of flavors that coat the chickpeas and sweet potato, infusing them with rich, spicy goodness. Finally, we fold in three cups of chopped spinach, allowing them to wilt gently and contribute a vibrant burst of color and essential nutrients to this nourishing and satisfying Chickpea and Spinach Curry.
