Slow Cook Your Way to This Sweet Potato & Chickpea Curry

While curry may not always be synonymous with this time of the year (except of course for Bridget Jones’ Mum’s turkey curry!!) a bowl of deliciously warm and nourishing food is absolutely what we need on those long dark December nights.

The combination of sweet potatoes and chickpeas in this curry give it an almost creamy texture while the spices add a subtle heat, ensuring this can be enjoyed by those with even the mildest of palates.

Plus, the recipe couldn’t be simpler –just add all of the ingredients into the slow cooker and return hours later to find a delicious dinner ready to go.

It’s vegan too, ensuring this is the perfect go-to meal for all dietary requirements!

Sweet Potato and chickpea curry with fork

We love to serve it with jasmine rice and garlic naan but truth be told, I wouldn’t turn away a bowl of this curry just on its own.

In fact, I might even choose to eat it that way on a solo night at home. And then portion the remainder out and freeze it so that I have a wholesome meal ready to go at any time.

Seriously, curled up on the sofa after a busy day of Christmas shopping and festive outings, this might be the perfect meal for a cozy night in, whether you’re cooking for just one or feeding a crowd.
