BM #118 Week 4 Day 3 -
The last one in this series of my favorite food is this chickpea sweet potato curry with coconut milk. I saw an advertisement on my social media feed where they used chickpeas, sweet potato and coconut milk.
So I improvised this recipe with the ingredients and spices we love at home. This is a rich and creamy curry and full of flavors we love.
