Spicy Sweet Potatoes & Chickpea Stew

Don't you love a warm, hearty bowl of stew in these winter months, almost everyone loves to eat something warming and filling.

This is a delicious recipe made with combining, spices, sweet potatoes, chickpeas, and coconut to fill you full of goodness.

I love to eat this and indeed all the other winter warmers with homemade flatbread.

Chickpeas not only contains important protein but also has many other nutrients and fiber too, they are packed with nutrients that can help keep your appetite under control, and they are rich in plant based protein.

This stew has warming spices that you need to be careful if you are a high pitta. There are lots of sweet and cooling tastes in this recipe so it will help to lift some of the heat of the hot spices.
