Method
- Peel and finely dice the onion and garlic. Peel and chop the sweet potato into chunks. Heat the oil in a large sauce pan on a medium heat, add onions and fry slowly stirring frequently. When softened add the garlic, keep stirring to avoid burning.
- Add the curry paste and stir to coat. Cook for a few minutes so that the paste loosens up a bit, then add in the chickpeas and sweet potato and stir. Pour in the chopped tomatoes and cover, reduce to a gentle simmer for 30 minutes or until the potato is soft.
- Warm the naan bread in the oven or grill. Roughly chop the coriander and mix with the yoghurt in a small dish, serve with the curry and naan bread.
*Add a little water as necessary for the sauce to suit your preferences.
No sweet potato in the veg rack? Substitute with butternut squash or even pumpkin - both equally as yummy in this curry dish.
