I've always loved your sweet potato, lentil and chickpea curry so when I saw this recipe I knew I had to give it a try. Easily made it's way onto our family's weekly meal plan - thanks Cassie.

Just so you know you have a typo! #3 Add coconut milk, curry pasta... I think you mean to say curry paste!

Made this last night and everybody loved it including my fussy mother in-law and carnivore husband ?. Toasted peanuts on top added a delicious crunch.

That's actually one of the highest compliments! My husband is fussy as and if he likes a meal I consider it a universal win 🙂 Toasted peanuts sound like a perfect addition!

Is it okay to use Red or Green curry paste in place of the Yellow? I couldn’t find any in my grocery store.
March 7, 2019
Go for it 🙂 I'd try the red curry paste, although it is a little spicier than yellow so if you don't love spicy, green may be best.

Hi, can you use curry powder instead of paste? Thanks!
March 12, 2019
Hey Hilary, you can - I actually have a very similar recipe on the blog that uses curry powder instead of paste which is one of my favourites - https://wp.cookitrealgood.com/sweet-potato-lentil-and-chickpea-curry/

Made this for dinner tonight and it was yummy. I absolutely love curry!! I didn’t follow your measurements and chose to spice it up a bit with red pepper and also used Jamaican curry powder. Thank you for sharing:)

They sound like great additions Errycka! Glad you enjoyed 🙂

Yum! After the initial cooking time I found the sauce was too watery for my liking so I used a potato masher and mashed it up. Served over basmati rice - so good! Can’t wait for leftovers tomorrow!

Awesome Sara - I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I love the idea of mashing the potato up a bit.

Just made this again and did not find it watery... I cut the vegetables smaller this time which must have helped. Also my 10 month old devoured it!!!

That's so good to hear! And approved by a 10 mth old?! That's high praise. I have a little one on the way and pray he is a good eater haha!
