This sweet potato coconut curry recipe is super simple and tastes fantastic, it is even suitable for vegans. One of our goals in recent times has been to eat less meat, having at least 2 meals a week that don’t include it. This recipe is incredibly tasty and even the most dedicated carnivore would give this a go, best of all our vegetarian and vegan friends can enjoy it too.
It’s another that takes a little over 20 minutes to make and you can be proud you made it from scratch. You can serve this with rice or as we did flat breads cooked on our cadac. If you are interested in making your own flat breads then let us know and we will publish our own recipe.
