- Stir in the tomatoes, sugar, and water. Raise the heat to high and bring to a boil. Stir, cover, reduce heat and simmer gently for 20 minutes.
- Add the reserved chicken, chickpeas, chopped kale and simmer until the greens are tender, 3-8 minutes. Then turn off the heat and let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
- Cut each sweet potato in half.
- To serve, top a sweet potato half with the curry, a spoonful of yogurt, and chopped cilantro or mint (if using).
