Want A Healthier Version of the Potato Curry? This Vegan Sweet Potato Curry Recipe Uses All the Traditional Indian Spices and Seasonings. Serve with Naan or Rice

This might not come as a shock to you: I am a HUGE fan of curry.

Curry is on the menu about three times a week. There are many variations to curry, but, my favorite remains the lentil curry.

If you do a Google image search for curry, you will see a colorful spread of curries. They also rang from very easy curry recipes to very intricate curry styles. I have seen curries with Italian flavors and they look amazing.

My favorite curry is the corn on the cob curry and watermelon curry. The best part about these curries is that you can serve it with naan or rice. They make for a very hearty dinner

I use boiled sweet potatoes for this recipe. You can also bake sweet potatoes and cut them into cubes.

Today’s curry the sweet potato curry. I have often been asked, “How do you make curry?” Now, I will just direct them to this recipe.

I came up with sweet potato curry because many people find potatoes to be somewhat unhealthy. I don’t necessarily agree with that, but, I am happy to provide a healthier version.

This is a vegan curry recipe, but, feel free to make this curry according to your tastes.

Also, if you are inclined to do so, this can turn into a slow cooker curry recipe.

Take all the ingredients and place them into a slow cooker. It should take about 7-10 hours, depending on your slow cooker. I like to put them at “High” when I start the cooking.

After about 4 hours, change it to low and let it cook for another 4 hours. Be sure to stir it often.

This Indian recipe is one of my favorite recipes to showcase on my blog. Indian cooking can be fun to make and eat, but, you have to put up with the heavy spice aroma.
