Sweet Potato and Chickpea Curry - Healthy Recipe

I recently fancied making a curry and as I follow the Slimming World plan, I prefer to make my food from scratch so I know exactly what goes into it. I sort of made this up as I went along but it was absolutely delicious, and very budget friendly. This recipe made enough for 2 so I ate one portion and put the other in the fridge for lunch the next day.

Firstly, I fried off the cumin seeds in frylight for a couple of minutes until they were lightly toasted.

  I then sprayed a bit more frylight into the pan and added my red onion and my spring onions which I chopped into small pieces. I fried these off until they started to go soft.

I then added my chilli powder, garlic and ginger. You can of course alter these quantities depending on how spicy you like it. I like mine quite mild with a bit of zing and these amounts were just right.

After a couple of minutes I added the drained chickpeas, chopped tomatoes and chopped sweet potato. I mixed this together to combine the flavours and then topped the pan off with water to cover the potato.

I let this simmer for about 25 minutes, in the meantime I cooked some rice to go with it.

Once the sauce had thickened, and the potato was soft I served the curry up with rice. It was absolutely delicious.
