Coconut Chickpea & Sweet Potato Curry

Coconut chickpea and sweet potato curry is slow, warming food. Sweet potatoes soften into the sauce, chickpeas hold their shape, and coconut milk brings everything together into something rich without being heavy. It’s the kind of dish that fills the kitchen with aroma and rewards a little patience.

This is comfort cooking meant to be ladled, shared, and enjoyed the Let’s Veg way.
