Mom's improv curry dish

My mom made this dish for me for lunch today. She just whipped it together without a recipe and it was delicious! I hope to be able to cook like the one day.

1 chopped onion
1 tbsp garam masala or curry
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 cube of fresh ginger, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 sweet potato, cubed
1 tomato, chopped
1 can of chickpeas, drained
1 cup of water
1 tbsp sugar
salt to taste
chopped parsley or parsley flakes
cream (optional)

Fry the onion, ginger and garlic in 2 tbsp of oil in a pot or pan until onion is tender. Add garam masala/curry, tomato paste, sugar, salt to taste, sweet potato, tomato and can of chickpeas. Pour in water (just enough water to cover the potatoes) and cover and cook until potatoes are soft. Just before serving, stir in parsley and cream to thicken (optional). Serve with rice.
