Sweet potato has been one of my recent favorites. I have been using this vegetable in a lot of dishes that require potatoes, and my family absolutely loves it. This spiced sweet potato curry with coconut is a variation of the regular sweet potato curry
When I made my curry with sweet potatoes (the first version), my very good friend Janhavi gave me another version of the sweet potato curry recipe. She told me that this is one of her favorite recipes with sweet potatoes and asked me to try it.
I have made this recipe for Sweet Potato Curry with ground spices and coconut a few times ever since, and we really like it.
This curry tastes really good with rice or with rotis. It is very simple to make and tastes yummy. The mild sweetness of the potatoes with the garlic and heat works really well. Also, this works great as a sandwich filling.
