Coconut Sweet Potato Curry

By Kelsey

on Feb 13, 2024

It may be February but it’s still rainy and cold and very overcast, this Coconut Sweet Potato Curry is the perfect way to want up at the end of a day. Sweet potato, coconut, curry… these are a few of my favorite things!  This dish is so perfect for a chilly night and not to mention super easy to throw together.  Oh and a huge plus?  Ruthie LOVES it!! My mom and I love curry so we have been loving the process of testing this recipe.  I’ve made it 3 times now to perfect it and they were all super delicious but this last one is perfection. This recipe has become a staple for our dinner rotation because I love that it comes together in one bowl relatively quickly. I think serving curry over rice is the way to go, so I served this over cauliflower rice! You can totally serve it over regular rice, quinoa, or whatever grain you want.  Or have it straight up in the bowl.  You can also make it vegetarian by taking out the meat and using vegetable stock instead of chicken!  So versatile and sooo delish.

Comfort in a bowl is always a good idea no matter the time of year, here are a few of my favorites:
