    I gotta see what sweet potatoes are all about. I’ve eaten them individually baked, but not as like, an ingredient.

      Very similar in texture and use as other potatoes. They are softer and create a looser mash. So, if you have something that would be good with potato, and a sweet component to the flavor would compliment the other aspects of the meal, sweet potatoes are a great thing to give a shot in place of normal ones. They make a number of good desserts as well.

      Blend onion, garlic, tomato sauce, garam masala and salt. Put in an electric pressure cooker with soaked chickpeas and diced sweet potatoes.

      ETA: I forgot ginger, which is blended with the items in the first step.

        To expand:

        • soak dry chickpeas the night before (or rinse canned ones).
        • fry the onions and garlic till onions are transparent.
        • add diced tomatoes and a teaspoon of garam masala and simmer for 10 mins.
        • put sauce and chickpeas and diced boiled sweet potatoes into a pressure cooker and cook for 10 mins. If you don’t have a pressure cooker, slow cooking for an hour also works.
