Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Chop the onion and garlic

    Peel the onion and cut it into small cubes. Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.

  2. Peel and cut the sweet potato

    Peel the sweet potato and cut it into roughly 2 cm cubes.

  3. Cook the onions

    In the skillet over medium heat, warm up the oil. Add the onion and cook it for 3 min without browning.

  4. Add the garlic and ginger

    Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1 min, stirring, so it smells great.

  5. Stir in the sweet potato

    Add the sweet potato cubes to the skillet. Stir well to coat them in the onion and garlic.

  6. Pour in the coconut milk and curry

    Pour in the coconut milk and add the curry powder. Stir well to spread the spices around.

    Tip · If the mix is too thick, add 5 cl of water so it cooks more easily.

  7. Simmer covered

    Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down and let it simmer, covered, for 15 min, stirring now and then.

  8. Add the chickpeas

    Drain the chickpeas and add them to the skillet. Stir well and let them heat for 2 min to warm through.

  9. Adjust the seasoning

    Taste and add salt and pepper to your liking. Stir well.

    Tip · For a bit of crispiness, crank the skillet to high heat for 2 min at the end, uncovered.
