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-comforting days.

The pairing of 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’m cooking for one, but somehow I always end up making way too much food..but who 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!

I am a cilantro lover of the highest degree and this chicken looks amazing! I am highly suspicious of people who dislike cilantro .🙂 Paul Brown

It was sooo good and creamy. The weather is pretty bad here lately (much rain, no sun and my plants on the balcony are slowly dying :( ), so I'm eating a curry every other day. Comfort food in fall and winter is the best :)
