  7. Afterward, add the spices and cook on medium-high heat for 10 minutes.
  8. Stir in the chickpeas and mushrooms, then add the coconut milk, vegetable broth, and tomato sauce. Combine well.
  9. Cover the pot with a lid and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are cooked through.
  10. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Serve over rice and with optional toppings and enjoy!
