This sweet potato curry is currently my absolute favorite curry. Not only is it incredibly creamy, it is also rich in valuable nutrients. Compared to conventional potatoes, sweet potatoes contain a lot of fiber, beta-carotene and vitamin E and are full of important minerals such as calcium, potassium and zinc. With quinoa as a side dish, you can also optimally cover your protein requirements, as it contains all 8 essential amino acids. Quinoa is also a complex carbohydrate, which causes your blood sugar level to rise slowly and keeps you feeling full for a long time. Long story short - see for yourself and enjoy 😊

Ingredients

1 onion
2 garlic cloves
1/2 chili pepper (optional)
30g ginger, fresh
some sesame oil or coconut oil
500g sweet potato
500ml coconut milk
500ml vegetable stock
250g quinoa
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika powder
1 tsp curry powder or 1 tbsp curry paste (yellow)
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 bunch of fresh coriander (optional)
1/2 lime, juice only

This is how it's done

Peel and finely chop the onion, garlic, ginger and chilli pepper and fry in a deep pan or wok with a little sesame oil until translucent.
Add the spices except salt and fry.
Wash and peel the sweet potato, cut into bite-sized pieces and fry for approx. 5 minutes.
Add the coconut milk and vegetable stock and bring to the boil.
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under hot water, drain and add.
Simmer everything over a medium heat for approx. 10-15 minutes until the sweet potatoes and quinoa are cooked.
Finally, add the lime juice and chopped coriander and season with salt and pepper to taste.
