    Firstly, the love of my life, sweet potato. One of the most versatile vegetables in the kitchen. And one of the tastiest. Secondly, cauliflower florets (cauliflower is predicted to be one of the most selling vegetables in 2017, due to being a great substitute for carbs). Last but not least, lovely chickpeas (remember to save that water from the can of chickpeas! use it to make delicious Pavlova's or this 'super pud'- Banana and Pecan Self- Saucing Pudding), then some spinach and chopped tomatoes. Veggie heaven!

    Also, you don't have to follow this sweet potato chickpea curry recipe step by step, you can use your own favourite combination of vegetables and spices. And bulgur wheat can also be swapped for the traditional rice, quinoa or any other grain of your choice.  So don't be put off by long-ish list of ingredients. Curries meant to be made by mixing lots of different spices and vegetables, there are no rights or wrongs here, so don't be afraid to experiment!

    Have a great weekend guys, and until next time!

      I literally love this recipe, I keep craving this for dinner. I have made it 4 times already. Sweet potatoes are such a great alternative to chicken and taste so much better!! Very fresh and hearty, which is perfect for me. Also, is great for this time of the year, just what I need, especially after attempting the gym, this is perfect to come home too. Thanks again Anna : ) Xxx
