  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 can (14 oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes or 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp curry powder or garam masala
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth or water (as needed)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish
  • Cooked rice or naan, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion until soft and translucent.
  2. Add garlic and ginger; stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Stir in curry powder, cumin, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Toast the spices for 1 minute.
  4. Add sweet potatoes and chickpeas, followed by diced tomatoes and coconut milk.
  5. Pour in enough vegetable broth or water to just cover the vegetables. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Simmer uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender and sauce thickens.
  7. Adjust seasoning to taste. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

  • Add spinach or kale at the end for extra greens.
  • Include chili flakes or paste for more heat.
  • Stir in peanut butter for a nutty twist.
  • Use pre-cooked sweet potatoes or canned tomatoes to save time.
  • Blend half the curry for a creamier texture.
