This vegan Sweet Potato Curry is so rich and creamy – perfect for the colder months. The combo of sweet potato and broccoli is one of my favorites! Serve it with basmati rice and garlic flatbread for the ultimate comfort food feast! :)
I have a few go-to meals for when I’m alone at home (which isn’t actually too often, but since my boyfriend started working part-time, I have 2-3 lunches a week that I eat alone buhhh) and this vegan Sweet Potato Curry is one of them! A simple Thai-inspired coconut milk curry is the perfect food for those I-don’t-know-what-to-cook-but-I-want-to-eat-something-comfortingdays.
The pairingof sweet potato and broccoli is one of my favorite veggie-combos, I’ve also used this combination in my veggie pakoras. I love how easy coconut-milk based curries are, plus, you can usually add in pretty much any veggies you have at home. I try to keep it simple when I’mcooking for one, but somehow I always end up making way too much food..butwho would eat a curry without rice and naan…
I’m terrible at cooking for one, so I always make 2 portions. Mhhhh but I don’t mind the leftovers! If you’re looking for more delicious curry recipes… Check out my 15 amazing vegan curry post!
Serve it with…
