Chickpea and potato curry

**i modified this recipe some. I send fresh tomatoes instead of canned. I also omitted all spice and oil. I also subbed sweet potatoes for potatoes, and used veggie stock instead of chicken.

Anyway, this was a huge hit at my house.

EASY CHICKPEA & POTATO CURRY (CHANA ALOO CURRY)

A Caribbean curry from Trinidad that tastes very similar to tomato based Indian vegetable curries. This curry has incredible flavour, and is one of the easiest real curries because you won't need to trek to the speciality store for the spices, you can get everything from the supermarket. This recipe is slightly modified from the Curry Channa and Aloo recipe from Immaculate Bites, a fantastic African/Caribbean food site.

For the record too, I served my husbands with rice, but I ate mine on its own and it was amazing both ways!

Squash works really well with this, as does spinach (or slightly sad looking salad leaves - rocket/arugula, cress, etc, chucked it at the end of the cooking time) - and I'd add coriander/cilantro leaves and a squeeze of lemon/lime
