    How to make sweet potato and chickpea curry:

    Do you think making healthy and tasty curries at home is hard? Think again! This sweet potato curry with chickpeas not only tastes like takeaway food, but is made with a lot less oil making it healthier for you.

    Here's how to make this tasty dish at home:

    1. Saute the onion, red pepper, and garlic in a little oil with cumin seeds and mustard seeds. The cumin and mustard seeds add lots of flavour to this curry, so try not to omit them!
    2. Add the chunks of peeled sweet potato and some water, then cook until the sweet potatoes soften.
    3. Add the chickpeas, broccoli, coconut milk and spices. We are using chilli powder, turmeric, ground cumin, and ground coriander in this recipe.
    4. Simmer for 10 minutes until everything is cooked through.

    AND THAT'S IT GUYS. It's so easy, so healthy, and soooo tasty!

    Variations on this recipe:

    • Try adding 1-2 cups fresh spinach or kale during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking for some extra colour and nutrients!
    • Sub cauliflower for the broccoli. Or use both - if so, you're my type of person 😉
    • Use kala chana (dark brown chickpeas) instead of regular chickpeas for extra health benefits
    • You can use light coconut milk if you wish, but the curry won't be as creamy.

    What can I do with leftover coconut milk?

    You could use leftover coconut milk in these raspberry, mango and coconut popsicles, or to make some coffee chia pudding!

    Can I make this curry without coconut milk?

    I wouldn't omit the coconut milk as it adds depth of flavour and richness.

    How long does chickpea sweet potato curry last?

    Prepared curry will last in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Make sure to reheat it well before serving.
