One Pot Sweet Potato Chickpea Curry is a simple, easy, and budget-friendly dinner that is healthy and satisfying! It’s also made with most ingredients found easily in your pantry!
I posted a Tik Tok Video the other day "What I Eat in a Day as a Thick Vegan" featuring this recipe and other recipes using sweet potatoes. The response was enormously positive! So many people wanted the full recipe so here it is!
What's in this Chickpea Curry?
Just like my Chickpea Peanut Butter Curry recipe, this curry is made with inexpensive and accessible ingredients that I was able to easily find at my local Aldi's or I already had on hand.
- Fresh Produce: sweet potatoes, onions, kale, cilantro, lime
- Canned Goods: chickpeas, tomatoes, vegetable, broth, and coconut milk
- Spices: curry powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, cinnamon
- Thickeners: corn starch
What can you serve with sweet potato curry?
- vegan spelt cornbread
- over rice or quinoa
- cauliflower rice to lower the carbs (although us curvy vegans don't do low carb diets!)
- homemade vegan naan bread
Substitution, Cook, & Storage Tips
- If you don't want to use sweet potatoes, try this recipe with butternut squash instead!
- This recipe will also work with lentils instead of chickpeas.
- The curry powder brand you choose is completely up to you and your liking and taste buds. There is no specific brand you have to buy to make this recipe.
- I use full fat coconut milk, but you can used light coconut milk if you desire. Be sure to use the canned coconut milk as that is made for cooking will not be overly sweet like the coconut milks you find in the jugs. Or you can make your own homemade coconut milk from scratch.
- This recipe will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Omg, thank you so much for this recipe!! It is amazing, just the right amount of sweetness with lots of flavors.. a new staple in my house. The only ingredients I didn't add was the cilantro or parsley and instead of the cornstarch I just mixed flour with the vegetable stock and the lemon juice.
