How to Prepare Sweet Potato and Chickpea Coconut Curry [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. In a large cooking pot, heat the coconut oil over moderate heat.
  2. Add the sweet potatoes and onions, and cook them, stirring every so often until they soften.
  3. Add the curry paste and turmeric. Stir to coat the vegetables and cook for them another minute.
  4. Add the chickpeas, tomatoes (with the liquid), and coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Reduce the heat and allow the mixture to simmer for approximately 10 minutes or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  6. At this point, if you'd like a thicker curry, do the following: mix 1/4 cup of cold milk and 2 tablespoons of corn starch and gradually stir the mixture into the curry.
  7. Cover the curry and simmer it for another 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  8. Add half of the cashews and mix them in.
  9. Upon serving, garnish with parsley or cilantro and the remaining cashews.
  10. Serve with warm naan bread, pitas, or rice.
