Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into large bite-size chunks
  • 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, grated
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 2 teaspoons coriander
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 can (14 ounces) coconut milk
  • 1 can (15 ounces) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas (or 1½ cups cooked chickpeas)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala (optional)
  • 4 wedges lemon (or lime)
  • 1 handful fresh cilantro
  • 1 to 2 cups basmati rice (or naan bread)
  • 4 tablespoons plain or Greek yogurt

Method
 

Make the Flavor Base
  1. In a Dutch oven, heat 1½ tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 chopped onion and sauté for about 4 minutes until it’s soft.
  2. Stir in the grated garlic and ginger along with the spices: 2 teaspoons curry powder, 2 teaspoons coriander, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon turmeric, and ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes. Sauté for an additional minute until fragrant, adding a splash of water if the pan dries out.
Simmer Until Tender
  1. Pour in 2 cups of vegetable broth, followed by the diced sweet potatoes, coconut milk, crushed tomatoes, and chickpeas. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Let the mixture come to a gentle simmer and cook for about 30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are beautifully tender.
Finishing Touches
  1. Once done, turn off the heat and stir in the optional garam masala for an extra layer of flavor. Allow the curry to sit for about 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  2. Before serving, taste and adjust the seasonings as necessary.
