GOLDEN CHICKPEA CURRY (MILD)

If you are one of those people who go to a curry house asking for something mild, then you might want to give this golden chickpea curry a go. To be honest, we are usually not one of those people as we like our curry hot but this is a great recipe when you want to tone it down a little bit. I mean, think about those situations when you’re cooking for more people with different preferences or when you just don’t want to risk it with too spicy food. Also, this is great comfort food that doesn’t take long to prepare.

The sweet potato in this recipe balances the spices and adding some kale completes this dish beautifully.
