Vegan Sweet Potato Curry made with warm spices, creamy coconut and crunchy cashews – make this a really worthwhile dinner. Served with basmati rice, or just in a bowl on its own, this curry hits all the right spots.
I’m a huge fan of this Vegan Sweet Potato Curry. It SEEMS like a lot of ingredients, and I suppose it is – but most of them are spices, that you’re going to blend into some serious deliciousness.
I used to make this on New Year’s Eve (of all days), because I had a bunch of friends who had varying dietary needs.
This vegan sweet potato curry is a favorite for everyone. Gluten-Free, Vegetarian, Vegan it’s low in fat, and high in veggies… about the only person, it won’t make happy is someone on a low-carb diet. But the rest totally counts for something, right?

This is a seriously beautiful dish! I’ve been on a low-carb diet for a while, but this would be something I’d be willing to cheat for! I think I have every spice you’ve listed in my pantry, too!
Kylee says
If you can’t find cardamom seeds (they’re harder to find), you could sub in ground cardamom – just watch it closely as you toast the spices. If you are going to cheat on your low-carb diet – this is probably one of the better ways to do it! Sweet potatoes and spinach are GOOD!!
