The days are becoming shorter, the weather cooler. It's official: Autumn is here. And it's this time of year that we seek food to warms us, comfort us, and to make our hearts happy! But if you're like me, you still want to eat relatively healthily for most of your meals.
Therefore, for the October edition of the Day of Happiness retreat with the lovely My Happy Body (AKA Chloe Watts), I decided to find a comforting, healthy, delicious recipe for our guests to enjoy. After a quick Google, I found the recipe for the most gorgeous Spicy Potato Vegan Curry on the All Recipes website. Whilst cooking it I changed a few ingredients to make it my own, and needless to say we had some very happy guests (just what you want on a Day of Happiness!). The success of that meal, combined with various friends asking me for more veggie recipes, meant that I just had to share this one with you.
It is super easy, cheap, filling, and most importantly tastes amazing! So without further ado, here's what you'll need:
3 x potatoes diced & cubed
3 x sweet potatoes diced & cubed
1 x bag of frozen peas
1 x yellow onion
3 x garlic cloves
2 inches of fresh root garlic
2 x cans of chickpeas
2 x cans of chopped tomatoes
2 x cans of coconut milk (I used Coconut Merchant)
4 tsps of ground cumin
6 tsps of curry powder (strength depends on your tastebuds, but I used medium)
4 tsps turmeric
6 tsps Garam Masala
Coconut oil
Sea salt to flavour
(This set of ingredients will serve at least 6-8 people - with leftovers! - and can be easily scaled up or down to suit your needs).
