Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 1 can 15 oz of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger grated
  • 1 can 14 oz of coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp cumin

  2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
