Preparation

In a large saucepan, over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, ginger and garlic and cook for one minute. Add sweet potato, yogurt and garam masala or curry powder and stir to coat. Bring curry up to a simmer; then cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring often, until sweet potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in chick peas and spinach, return to a simmer. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
