Potato Chickpea Curry


3 large potatoes, peeled, chopped, and boiled till soft

ONE
1 tsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, pressed or minced

TWO
10oz spinach (fresh or, if frozen, thawed first)

THREE
30oz cooked chickpeas (drained and rinsed). Puree half of the chickpeas in a blender with a bit of water
1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
2 tsp curry powder
2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp ground cardamom
1/4 tsp ground cloves

FOUR
15oz stewed tomatoes (drained and pureed with 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper)

In a large saucepan, saute the ingredients in ONE, covered, until onions are translucent.  Add the ingredients in TWO and simmer, covered, until wilted. Add the ingredients in THREE and simmer, covered, adding a bit of water if needed, for about 5 minutes. Preheat the oven at 375F. In a casserole, pour half of the curry mixture, smoothing it into a layer. Pour the tomatoes on top creating another layer. Spread the reminder of the curry on top and smooth it out. Cover and bake for about 45 minutes. Serve with rice or by itself with a dollop of fat-free Greek yogurt.
