- Meanwhile, peel and crush the garlic, and peel and finely chop the ginger.
- Heat the oil over a medium heat, and sweat the garlic and ginger for about 2mins. Add the chilli powder to taste (½ – 1 tsp).
- Drain the sweet potatoes and chickpeas, and add them to the pan with the tomatoes. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat.

- Serve with extra lime, and naan or rice if desired.
