Ingredients
Vegetables & Legumes
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 onion, finely chopped
Aromatics & Seasonings
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Liquids & Fats
- 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- Water, as needed (to cover vegetables)
For Garnish
- Fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Prepare the Aromatics: Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until translucent.
- Add Garlic and Ginger: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until wonderfully fragrant.
- Toast the Spices: Sprinkle in the curry powder, turmeric, and cumin. Stir and toast for about 30 seconds so the spices can bloom and fully release their aromas.
- Add Main Ingredients: Add the cubed sweet potatoes and chickpeas to the pot, stirring well to coat with the spice mixture.
- Add Liquids & Simmer: Pour in the coconut milk and enough water to just cover the vegetables. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower heat and let it simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are just tender.
- Season & Finish: Season the curry with salt and pepper to your liking. Stir well and cook for another minute, letting the flavors marry.
- Garnish & Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, and serve hot with rice or naan as desired.
Notes
- Pro tip: Select firm, smooth sweet potatoes with no soft spots for the best flavor and texture.
- Feeling adventurous? Cook dried chickpeas from scratch for an even richer taste and texture.
- Save time by prepping vegetables in advance or using pre-cut sweet potatoes.
- Avoid overcooking the sweet potatoes—aim for tender but not mushy pieces.
- This curry keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 days and can be frozen for meal prep.
