YAM//CHICKPEA//SWEETPEA //CURRY//MANGO//CILANTRO

1 shallot

1 large clove garlic or two small

1 large yam

1 can chickpeas

1tsp curry spice powder (use a little more if you like a strong flavor)

1/4 teaspoon fresh minced or powder ginger

1/2 teaspoon fresh grated turmeric

1/2 cup chopped cilantro

1/2 cup yogurt or kefir

1/2 cup frozen peas

1/2 teaspoon of honey

2-3 tablespoon of liquid chai tea 

salt and pepper

Chilli rubbed dried mango, mint and cilantro to garnish

Cut the yam into chunks and steam until tender. In another pan, melt some coconut oil and fry the garlic and shallot on med heat for a few minutes. Then add one can of chickpeas, curry powder, ginger and some salt and pepper to taste, let it heat up for a couple mins and then turn to low/med heat. Add the chai tea to give it more flavour and keep it moist, make sure nothing burns or stick to the pan. Add the peas. Heat up for a couple mins. Now add the cooked yam. I mashed mine up because I like that smooth consistency, up to you whether you want to keep it chunky or smooth. Add the yogurt, cilantro, and honey.. taste and salt and pepper again. Stir and combine and heat all ingredients through.
