4. Add the coconut milk, water, fish sauce, or tamari and coconut sugar and bring to a gentle boil.
5. Add potatoes, cover and simmer on low for 5 minutes.
6. Add asparagus and carrots, cook until the vegetables are just about tender, about 3 minutes.
7. Once the vegetables are tender, add chicken or chickpeas. Stir and simmer 1 minute more until heated through.
8. Finally stir the spinach into the mixture and cook until the spinach has wilted, about 30 seconds.
9. Remove the curry from heat and season with lime juice. Taste to adjust salt.
10. Serve in bowls garnished with chopped cilantro.
