Creamy Vegan Sweet Potato Curry

This sweet potato curry is the best vegan curry I’ve ever had!  If you are used to having this with chicken, well I’m here to tell you that the beloved sweet potato is gonna win your heart over…and over again.  The creamy’ness of the sweet potato, chickpeas, and avocado, along with the spice of the curry will make you think you’re sitting down in a kitchen in India with every bite!  And that ain’t no exaggeration.

Tips at the store

I try to find items that are already cut up, chopped up, and ready to throw into a recipe.  I only use them though if there aren’t any other ingredients in there though, so no preservatives are allowed.  Read the labels, meaning, read the ingredient list on the back to make sure no hidden ingredients are in there!

So if you’re short on time, in this recipe I used carrots, celery, and onion…that combo is called a mirepoix.  You can find a mirepoix mix at Trader Joe’s. Very simple.  I used half of the container in this recipe so I will note that on the recipe itself as well.

Now let’s get you in the kitchen to get cookin’!

 

 

Sweet Potato Curry

If you find a mirepoix mix at the store (diced celery, onion, carrot mix), feel free to use a big cup of that instead of chopping the onion, celery, and carrots in this recipe.  You can also find minced ginger and minced garlic in jars so feel free to use those if short on time.  This recipe makes a lot but it's a very easy dish to reheat and enjoy again!  It gets better the 2nd night!
