My review
Sweet Potato and Chickpea Masala
15
purplerose
"I had some leftover bread that has a short shelf-life. So, I guess this spicy recipe goes well with it. Decided to add sweet potato to the original chana masala, as I didn't want that to go to waste, too. And it tasted good!"

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Melt ghee with oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute ginger and garlic in the ghee mixture until aromatic and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add onion; continue to saute until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes more.
- Mix curry powder, cumin, coriander, chili powder, garam masala, and turmeric together in a bowl; add to the skillet and stir. Stir enough water into the skillet to get the mixture to be paste-like; cook to let the flavors intensify for about 30 seconds.
- Stir sweet potato, chickpeas, 1 cup water, and salt into the mixture in the skillet; cook at a simmer until the sweet potato is just tender, about 10 minutes. Thin the mixture with more water if too thick.
- Stir tomatoes into the sweet potato mixture, bring to a boil, and cook until the liquid reduces to a thick gravy, about 5 minutes. Garnish with cilantro.
Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- I add a teaspoon of chili powder to make it extra hot and spicy. To those who can't stand the heat, just do without it.
- Tip
- Aluminum foil helps keep food moist, ensures it cooks evenly, keeps leftovers fresh, and makes clean-up easy.

I have made this recipe twice now, with and without the tomatoes. This is a very good side dish with Curry Stand Chicken Masala or just over rice on its own. Very easy. My guest loved it. Last n...

Really good. I read people’s notes of doubling the spices so I increased it by 1.5x and I would agree with the doubling. It was missing something. Used butter instead of ghee because that’s what...

I added some chopped jalapeños plus threw in some baby spinach leaves along with the tomatoes. Hubby and I both loved it. Will make again.

I concur that the dish was a little mild but I didn't mind because I was making it for my children to eat. I think it could have simmered longer and allowed spices to infuse a little more...I...

I liked the ease of this recipe. I had to cover the pan to let the potatoes steam a bit until they were fork tender. Served on basmati.
