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.

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.
