- 1
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and chili peppers (if using) and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
- 2
Add all the spices (tomato paste, curry powder, paprika, oregano, cumin, garlic granules, turmeric, ginger, salt, and pepper) to the pot. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add a splash of water if needed to prevent sticking.
- 3
Add the cubed sweet potatoes to the pot and stir to coat them evenly with the spices and tomato paste. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes.
- 4
Pour in the boiling water and add the vegetable bouillon cube and peanut butter. Stir vigorously until the peanut butter is fully dissolved and the sauce is smooth.
- 5
Add the drained and washed chickpeas to the pot. Stir everything together.
- 6
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally.
- 7
Check the consistency of the stew. If it's too watery, add a little more peanut butter. If it's too thick, add a splash of water. Adjust seasoning to your liking.
- 8
Serve hot. Sauce Karanga is often enjoyed with fufu, rice, or fried plantains.
