Healthy Sweet Potato and Pumpkin Coconut Curry with Chickpeas
Jump to Recipe

There are some recipes that just warm you up to the bone. Especially when said recipes are full of spices like turmeric, cinnamon and curry and served piping hot. I found this recipe on my suggested post Instagram feed, and immediately followed the author, Hannah Chia. Beautiful pictures, feel good food. I’m usually pretty picky with what I make especially if I don’t know the source, but this easily passed my screening. A coconut milk based curry with pumpkin, sweet potato, chickpeas and tomatoes. The perfect combination of herbs. Vegan, gluten free, absolutely healthy. It would be very hard to get this wrong. Especially, ESPECIALLY when you go all in and make homemade naan to go alongside this. I’ll be posting the naan recipe next so stay tuned! This was absolutely delicious, you will not miss the meat, and it’ll fill you up and stick to your ribs and make eating healthy the most indulgent experience. Enjoy this! My husband had three bowls.

Changes I made:

I followed the recipe pretty precisely, but for those interested, I made the following changes. First, was to add cumin seeds and cinnamon powder for what I felt would be a deeper flavor. Another was reducing the sugar just slightly in the sauce, because I felt the sweet notes from the potato and pumpkin would be enough. I also reduced the curry powder just slightly from the original recipe because I was scared it would be overwhelming. I chose to use water because I was too lazy to make vegetable broth. I’m sure the original recipe is fantastic as it is, but I can only attest to the one I made with these subtle changes and it was a big hit.
