Healthy Breakfast Curry Recipe for a Nutritious Morning

A warm, flavorful, and healthy breakfast curry recipe featuring sweet potatoes, spinach, and chickpeas simmered in a creamy coconut milk base. Perfect for a nutritious start to the day or meal prep for busy mornings.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1 cup diced sweet potatoes
  • 1/2 cup cooked chickpeas (canned or pre-cooked)
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable stock or water
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Optional: Brown rice, quinoa, or whole-grain bread for serving

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add turmeric powder and curry powder, stirring to coat the onions and release their aroma.
  • Add diced sweet potatoes and chickpeas. Pour in the vegetable stock, cover, and simmer for 10–12 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
  • Stir in the coconut milk and diced tomatoes. Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  • Toss in the fresh spinach and stir until wilted, about 1–2 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm with brown rice, quinoa, or whole-grain bread.

Notes

  • Batch Cooking: Double the recipe and store portions in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Substitutions: Swap sweet potatoes for butternut squash or carrots. Use kale instead of spinach for a slightly heartier texture.
  • Spice Levels: Add chili flakes or fresh chili for a spicier curry.
