- 1 1⁄2-inch piece fresh ginger, grated or minced
- 3 bay leaves
- Ground spices
- 1 tablespoon garam masala
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- ½ teaspoon Indian red chili powder or 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper**
- A generous amount of freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 (15-ounce) cans of chickpeas, drained and rinsed (equivalent to 3 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas)
- 2 cups water or vegetable broth
- 3 cups peeled and finely diced sweet potatoes****
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, or half of 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 4 ounces Swiss chard****, finely sliced into ribbons
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped

- Thinly sliced red onions

- Recipe Notes
- * If you can’t find black mustard seeds, feel free to substitute brown mustard seeds - they’re a bit less spicy.
- ** Omit for a mild version.
- *** This is equivalent to 3 medium or 2 large sweet potatoes. Make sure to finely dice the sweet potatoes - otherwise, they won’t fully cook through in the stew (or you’ll need to cook the stew longer). To see what size I dice them, be sure to watch the video starting around the 05:00 mark.
- **** You can use other greens, such as kale or spinach. Spinach will cook very quickly and won’t need as much time.
- ***** The fresh mint adds a really nice cooling complement to the spiciness of the stew.
