Bright and beautiful curried veggies look even better when you serve them with orange-hued sweet potatoes instead of the usual rice. Sweet potatoes are full of fiber and colorful antioxidants, and they’re the quintessential autumn veggie.

Chickpea and Cauliflower Curry

Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons turmeric, divided
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large jalapeno, seeded and chopped
  • 2 cups (360g) fresh tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 1/2 cups (250g) cauliflower florets
  • 2 cups (328g) cooked chickpeas, no salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup (8g) fresh cilantro

Directions

Slice the sweet potatoes and steam until very tender. Let cool slightly, slip off the skins and mash. Stir in 1 teaspoon of the turmeric and set aside.

Add the coconut milk to a large saute pan placed over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and jalapenos and bring to a boil, cook for a minute after it starts boiling. Stir in the remaining teaspoon turmeric, cumin and pepper and cook for a few seconds. Add the tomatoes and cauliflower and return to boil. Cover the pan and reduce to medium-low, and cook for about 4 minutes. When the cauliflower is tender, stir in the chickpeas and cook until heated through. Stir in the lemon juice. Serve curry atop sweet potato mash.
