A vibrant and comforting Sweet Potato Curry made with tender sweet potatoes, chickpeas, and a fragrant red curry paste simmered in creamy coconut milk. This dish is packed with flavor and nutrients, perfect for a wholesome vegetarian meal.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, cubed
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 15 oz can chickpeas, drained
  • 1 14 oz can full fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup onions, chopped
  • 4 tablespoons red curry paste
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 large handful spinach, chopped
  • Oil or vegetable broth, for sautéing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Heat a small amount of oil or vegetable broth in a casserole or large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, chopped onions, and bell pepper. Sauté these aromatics together for about 3 minutes until they soften and release their fragrance.
  2. Add Sweet Potatoes and Curry Elements: To the sautéed mixture, add the cubed sweet potatoes, canned coconut milk, and red curry paste. Stir well to combine all ingredients and coat the sweet potatoes fully in the curry paste and coconut milk. Allow this mixture to simmer gently for 10 minutes, letting the sweet potatoes soften and the flavors meld.
  3. Incorporate Chickpeas and Season: After the initial simmer, add the drained chickpeas to the casserole. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook the curry for an additional 6 minutes to heat the chickpeas through and thicken the sauce slightly.
  4. Add Optional Spinach: If using spinach, stir it into the curry just before serving. The spinach will wilt quickly in the residual heat, adding fresh flavor and color.
  5. Serve: Spoon the curry into bowls or serve it over cooked rice on plates for a hearty and satisfying meal.

Notes

  • You can replace oil with vegetable broth for a lower-fat preparation.
  • Serve with steamed rice or naan to complement the curry.
  • Adjust the amount of red curry paste depending on your heat preference.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat nicely.
