Heat the dutch oven over medium high heat, add some broth for water sauteing. Add the onions, garlic, and peppers and saute for 5 minutes until the onions are translucent.
Stir in the sugar and spices and stir and cook for 1 minute to allow the spices to bloom. Add the potatoes, tomatoes, chickpeas and remaining broth. Bring to a boil and lower temperature to a simmer and cover and cook until the potatoes are tender about 30 minutes
Meanwhile, combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl.
Once the potatoes are tender, bring the stew to a simmer and add the slurry and stir and allow to thicken. Serve and enjoy.
