A reciipe for a simple but delicious sweet potato and chickpea curry. Perfect served with rice, poppodoms, raita and mango chutney


Trying to cut down on the amount of meat that you are eating?  Try this sweet potato and chickpea curry.  It’s absolutely delicious.

I used fresh turmeric and ginger but if you can’t find them, powdered is fine to use too.

I hope you give this a try- let me know how you get on!

  • 2 shallots (finely chopped)
  • 1 clove garlic (grated)
  • 1 inch piece of ginger (peeled and grated)

  • 1 inch piece of peeled and grated fresh turmeric (or 1 tsp powdered)
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 small sweet potato (peeled and chopped)
  • 400g tin of chickpeas (drained)
