"I was looking for a good sweet potato recipe that was not the same old, same old. This one hit the spot! These stuffed sweet potatoes are flavorful and make a wonderful vegetarian meal when paired with some rice and a nice cucumber raita. This is a loose adaptation of an original recipe on Once a Month Meals. Serves 4 as a main dish, or 8 as a side dish."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and set aside.
Step 2
Cut each baked sweet potato in half and scoop out the flesh, leaving about a 1/8 inch shell.
Step 3
Mash the sweet potato flesh in a medium bowl. Add the coconut milk, tomato paste, ginger, garlic and garam masala and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding a few gratings of salt if necessary. Add a bit more coconut milk if it needs to be creamier. Add the chickpeas and mix well.
Step 4
Place the sweet potato skins on the baking sheet. Fill them with the sweet potato & garbanzo mixture, piling it high. Bake until the filling is piping hot, about 15 minutes.
Step 5
To serve, sprinkle some chopped cilantro over each stuffed sweet potato.
