In a 5-6 quart heavy duty pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium (or medium low if necessary) and cook until the onion is richly browned, 5 to 7 minutes more. Add the garlic and ginger;cook, stirring, for 1 minute to blend the flavors. Add the coriander, cumin, turmeric, cayenne, and curry; stir for 30 seconds to toast the spices. Add the tomato paste and stir until well blended with the spices, about 1 minute.

Add the broth, coconut milk, cinnamon stick, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the head to medium low or low and simmer for 10 minutes.

Add the cauliflower, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and carrots. Raise the heat to medium high and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low, cover, and simmer until the vegetables are tender, 20-25 minutes. Discard the cinnamon stick.

Stir in the chickpeas, spinach, lime juice, and zest; cook until the spinach has wilted, about 3 minutes more. Season to taste with salt. Serve garnished with cilantro.
