Method
-
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil, onion, garlic and ginger. Sauté for 5 minutes or until soft and fragrant. Add curry paste, almond butter and 1/2 cup vegetable stock to the pan and use a wooden spoon to mix until smooth.
-
Add chickpeas, sweet potato, coconut milk and remaining vegetable stock. Bring mixture to a rapid simmer then reduce to low and cover with a lid. Allow curry to simmer for 30 - 45 minutes or until the sweet potato cubes are softened. Remove lid then add lime and coconut sugar. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
-
While the curry is simmering, add the almond meal, tapioca flour, coconut yoghurt, water and salt to a large bowl. Whisk until smooth.
-
Heat a cast iron or non stick pan over high heat. Add a heaped spoonful of ghee. Once sizzling, add 1/2 cup flatbread mixture to the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel then repeat with remaining mixture, adding extra ghee as needed.
-
Divide cooked grains and curry between bowls and garnish with coconut yoghurt, almonds, parsley and lime. Enjoy with a hot flatbread!
Notes
This curry will last in an airtight container refrigerated for 4 days or frozen for 3 months. Flatbreads will last up to 4 days in the fridge. For best results reheat flatbreads in the oven or toasted sandwich maker until crispy. To make this dish vegan/dairy free, fry the flatbreads in coconut oil.
