This vegan sweet potato curry has got us pretty excited around these parts. The past week we’ve been testing it and then shooting it so we’ve been eating a lot of curry. And it’s been totally divine!
To say it’s delicious would be a serious understatement. It’s the kind of meal where you just can’t stop exclaiming about how good it is to everyone around you!
And it’s this delicious with remarkably little effort. In fact I’d say it’s downright easy to make this meal.
It’s a simple mix of onion, garlic, ginger, red curry paste and spices, with sweet potato, lentils, canned tomato, vegetable stock, coconut milk, fresh basil and a little peanut butter!
The peanut butter increases the creaminess and richness of the dish while providing a great flavor addition to the other ingredients.
Fresh basil adds a dash of color as well as lovely fresh flavor.
Serve the curry with some more fresh basil, crushed peanuts and either on its own or over some basmati rice, or if you’d like it a little lighter, then serve it over cauliflower rice.
We used coconut milk (the full fat version) for this vegan sweet potato curry, but you could use coconut cream if you wanted to make it even richer, or a light coconut milk if you wanted to make it lighter.
I hope you’ll love this delicious vegan sweet potato curry, it is:
- Rich
- Satisfying
- Creamy
- Hearty
- Easy
- Insanely good!
Leftovers keep wonderfully well in the fridge and can be reheated the next day.

Notes
*If you want a spicier curry you could use more red curry paste.
*It’s definitely best to use a full fat coconut milk for the best taste results, and you could even swap for coconut cream if you want it even richer.
