Jamaican Chickpea Sweet Potato Curry

This hearty and flavourful Jamaican-inspired curry combines tender chickpeas and sweet potatoes simmered in a rich coconut milk base infused with aromatic spices. Paired with traditional rice and peas, and complemented by tangy pink pickled onions, this dish offers a delightful fusion of tastes and textures.
