Prepare the Aromatics

  • Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add cloves and bay leaves; sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add Spices and Vegetables

  • Add the minced ginger and garlic; cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in turmeric powder, red chili powder, and ground coriander; cook for another minute until fragrant.

Simmer the Curry

  • Add the cubed sweet potato and pumpkin. Stir to coat with the spices. Pour in the coconut milk and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the sweet potato and pumpkin are tender, about 20-25 minutes. Stir in the chickpeas during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Season and Serve
