I teased this recipe quite a few weeks ago on my Instagram but I’ve been waiting to post it because I wanted to film the youtube video for it as well. IT’S SO GOOD and I wanted to share it across every single platform that I could :D This is going to be one of your new favorite weeknight dinners!

Since my Loaded Veggie Tikka Masala recipe is consistently one of the most popular recipes on my blog, I figured that it was time I made a couple more delicious curry recipes for you to try because we’re obsessed in my house!

Ingredients needed

First let’s look at the star ingredients in this coconut curry:

ingredients needed for sweet potato curry
  • Sweet potato – our star ingredient :)
  • Cauliflower & Carrot – other veggies would be great options as well so use what you have on hand! Adding in a diced yellow onion to this would be delicious.
  • Can of coconut milk – I usually use lite-coconut milk but you can also use full-fat coconut milk as desired!
  • Green peas
  • Chickpeas
  • Bell peppers- you can use any color but I always opt for the sweet ones.
  • Almond butter – peanut butter or other nut/ seed butters work well too.
  • Optional add ins: fresh ginger would be amazing added! A handful of fresh spinach wilted into the curry at the end is also something I have tried and LOVE.

    My family loves this recipe. My five year old is a great eater but my two year old and three year old are hit or miss on lots of dinner recipes. All three kids love this curry recipe and even enjoy leftovers of it. Thank you for sharing, you have given us a new regular favorite.
