Step by step instructions to make Sweet Potato Curry

Can you freeze chickpeas in a curry?

Absolutely! This Sweet Potato Curry has enough liquid to cover the vegetables so it is so easy for freezing. It also makes it so easy for meal prep and make ahead meals.

Make always sure any curry you prepare has enough liquid that it is good for freezing.

For more variation add lentils for a sweet potato lentil curry which will add even more texture. Into more creamy curries? I got you covered you can add  2 Tbs peanut butter and 1/4 peanuts for topping to make a satay sweet potato curry.

Absolutely fab recipe, thank you Florian!

I added lemongrass and sweet basil ( not Italian basil) as I love those Thai flavours. It was so creamy, hard to believe it's vegan. Warm and comforting food, like a hug.
