Servings: persons

2 sweet potatoes (about 250g each)
400 g chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons sunflower oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon cumin seed
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 small onion, finely sliced
1/2 green chili, finely chopped
2 tablespoons coconut milk yoghurt (such as Cayo) or 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
1 handful coriander leaves, roughly chopped

1
Preheat oven to 200'C, gas mark 6. Scrub the sweet potatoes and pat dry with kitchen paper. Prick the skin several times with a knife, then bake on a foil-lined tray for 1 hour, or until the flesh is soft and tender.
2
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix the chick peas with 1 tbsp oil and the salt, pepper and spices. Spread evenly on a baking tray and roast in the oven with the sweet potatoes for the final 20 minutes of cooking time, stirring half way through.
3
Fry the garlic, onion and chilli in the remaining 1 tbsp oil over a medium heat for 5 minutes, until the onion is soft and translucent.
4
To serve, toss the roasted chick peas through the onion mixture. Slice open the sweet potatoes and divide the chick pea mixture between them. Top each one with a dollop of coconut milk yoghurt and a sprinkling of coriander.
