Directions for Coconut Chickpea & Sweet Potato Curry
- In a food processor, pulse onion, jalapeño, ginger, and garlic until finely chopped.
- In a heavy pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and cook, stirring, until toasted, about 1 minute. Stir in onion mixture and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion mixture is softened and starting to brown about 5 minutes.
- Stir in tomato paste, curry powder, garam masala, coriander, and paprika and cook, stirring frequently, until tomato paste darkens, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes, one teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup water, and scrape any browned bits into the bottom of the pot. Cook, stirring, until tomatoes are broken down, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add potatoes, chickpeas, milk, sugar, and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer, stirring halfway through, until potatoes soften for about 15 minutes. Uncover and continue to simmer until the potatoes are softened and starting to fall apart and the curry thickens for 15 to 20 minutes.
