Background
This sweet potato, aubergine and chickpea curry might have many ingredients, but don’t be alarmed by this - they are mainly spices, which give the dish depth of flavours. In fact the sauce is a standard curry base, that can be used for other veggies or even meat and fish. Serve it with basmati rice and chutney on the side.

- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 onion
- 3 cloves of garlic
