Lentil and Sweet Potato Curry, Lentil and Sweet Potato Curry
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I found this lentil and sweet potato curry on the BBC Good Food website, when looking for a curry that would be suitable for both vegan and vegetarian diets, that meat eaters will also enjoy...and we did!  I had all the ingredients in the cupboard, along with some fresh coriander in the fridge.

There's not much to prepare and you end up with a delicious curry cooked in half an hour, with lovely warmth from the spices, comfort from the lentils and a bit of sweet from the potatoes.

Tips

  • If you want to feed more people with this lentil and sweet potato curry, cook up some rice and serve some poppadom crisps on the side...you'll definitely manage to feed more than 2!
  • The curry is freezable if you have leftovers – transfer them into an airtight container, leave to cool and then pop into the freezer.   Defrost overnight and reheat in a pan on the hob.
  • This recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
