Potato & Chickpea Curry With Rice (Dutch Oven)

Enjolinfam's Note:

For the full Indian curry experience, serve this dish with warmed naan ( we use Best Healthy Vegan Indian Naan (Or Garlic Naan) Bread!), sliced green onion, and a bowl of spicy chutney. Be sure the lid to the Dutch oven closes tightly over the spinach so no steam escapes while the dish is cooking. Found in Vegetarian Times.

Quick, easy and yummy! I think I will put some red pepper flakes or a bit of cayenne next time just for personal preference...we like it spicy!

YUM YUM YUM YUM!!! I just made this it is DELICIOUS!! I also used some garam masala and some chili powder - worked nicely, I'm sure you could substitute lots of different spices! Thanks for this recipe :)

This was a really easy recipe. I usually like my rice on the side, but it was nice to have everything cooked quickly in one dish. I made a third of the recipe and slightly upped the potatoes, onions and spinach. Because of how much the spinach cooks down I could have used more spinach I think. Even with a third of the recipe there's more than enough food for 4 people. The seasoning is nice and simple, though the quality definitely depends on the quality of the curry powder used. Thanks for a tasty, easy lunch.
