This vegan Sweet Potato Curry is so rich and creamy - perfect for the colder months. The combo of sweet potato and broccoli is one of my favorites! Serve it with basmati rice and garlic flatbread for the ultimate comfort food feast! :)

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!

    Mmm, this looks both healthy and comforting - sweet potatoes in creamy coconut sauce sounds wonderful.

      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 :)

        That's sad that your plants are dying! :( I had a pretty good collection of herbs on my window sill at some point during the summer but that didn't last very long either.

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