					Description 
					This ingredient list is long but is well-worth the Indian-spiced flavor...the stew is also high in potassium, an important mineral that helps keep blood pressure in check.  I added more fresh spinach!

				Directions 
				
				
            			Heat canola oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.  Add onion; saute 4 minutes or until onion is tender.  Add garlic and 1/4 tsp. salt, saute 1 more minute.  Add curry powder, cumin, corainder, cinnamon, and pepper; cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly.  Stir in the squash, parsnip, broth, and tomatoes; bring to a boil.  Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until the squash is slightly tender, stirring occasionally. 
            			
                		
                	
            			
 
            			
                		
                	
            			
Stir in remaining 1/4 tsp. salt, lima beans, and chickpeas.  Uncover and simmer 8 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.  Add spinach and coconut milk; cook 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring frequently.  Remove from heat and stir in cilantro and lime juice.  Serve immediately.  Yields 8 servings.
