SWEET POTATO AND CHICKPEA CURRY



Sweet Potato and Chickpea Curry image

This is a warming rather than hot curry. You can taste the spices and enjoy their aromatic fullness. The ginger, chile and pepper flakes provide heat, while the coriander and cumin add a pleasurable earthiness. Meanwhile, the sweetness of the coconut milk, heightened by the soothing starchiness of the sweet potatoes, has as a counterpoint the fierce tang of tamarind. As a side dish, this recipe would be fine without the chickpeas, but as a meal, along with rice and maybe some steamed broccolini, they add heft and, if you're interested, protein.

SWEET POTATO AND CHICKPEA CURRY



Sweet Potato and Chickpea Curry image

Recipe of the week in "The Week" magazine (heehee). Originally from the NY Times. Easy to make (e.g., some of the hard-to-cut vegetables are processed in a blender or food processor, and don't be put off by the no. of ingredients; they are mostly dried spices) and also ideal as a leftover served atop a thick piece of sourdough toast as per Nigella Lawson. Update - I made this the other night, and it was very tasty with lite coconut milk. I plan to make this again soon:D
