Description

A comforting and hearty dish bursting with flavor, perfect for cozy nights in or impressing friends at dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it’s translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until your kitchen smells divine.
  3. Sprinkle in the curry powder, cumin, and turmeric. Give it a good stir to coat the onions and toast slightly.
  4. Toss in your diced sweet potatoes and chickpeas. Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring well to combine.
  5. Cover the pot and let the curry cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  6. Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, use a potato masher or fork to mash a few pieces in the pot for a creamier texture.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Optionally, add red pepper flakes for heat.
  8. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

For a lighter version, swap half the coconut milk for vegetable broth. Can store in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for 3 months.
