For the Jacket Potatoes:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

For the Chickpea Curry:

  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or olive oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece ginger, minced
  • 1 green chili, chopped (optional)
  • 1 tbsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tbsp ground coriander
  • 1 tbsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tbsp garam masala
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup spinach, chopped
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

For the Jacket Potatoes:

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Prepare Potatoes: Wash and dry the potatoes. Pierce each potato a few times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
  • Coat and Season: Rub each potato with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap them in aluminum foil (optional) or place them directly on a baking tray.
  • Bake: Place the potatoes in the oven and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Rest: Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them rest for 5-10 minutes.

For the Chickpea Curry:

  • Heat Oil: In a medium saucepan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
  • Cook Aromatics: Add the chopped onion, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until translucent. Then, add the minced garlic, ginger, and green chili (if using). Cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Add Spices: Stir in the cumin seeds, ground coriander, ground turmeric, and garam masala. Cook the spices for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Tomatoes and Coconut Milk: Add the diced tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, allowing them to break down slightly. Pour in the coconut milk, and stir well to combine.
  • Chickpeas: Add the drained chickpeas to the pan and bring the curry to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  • Finish: Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for another 2-3 minutes until wilted. Add the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assembly:

  • Cut Potatoes: Cut a slit down the center of each baked potato and gently squeeze the sides to open it up.
  • Fill: Spoon the chickpea curry into the center of each potato.
  • Garnish: Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro.
  • Serve: Serve the curry jacket potatoes warm, perhaps with a side of salad or steamed vegetables.
