Sweet Potato, Chickpea and Coconut Curry

February 15, 2015 / Niki / 1 Comment

My sweet potato, chickpea and coconut curry is just the sort of thing I love to eat when I need something spicy, comforting & nourishing (perfect on a cold wintery Sunday).

My inspiration for this curry comes from Indian, Thai and West African cuisines, the addition of coconut milk adds creaminess to this is deliciously sweet, savoury and spicy curry and the crushed peanuts and lime give the curry a little West African twist.

The recipe is really adaptable, for example you could omit the coconut milk as a lighter but still super tasty curry.

I think this is great served with buckwheat or gram flour flatbreads and crunchy slaws, but is equally good with rice and dhal.
