Curry Sweet Potato and Channa – Delicious Healthy Vegan comfort dish, So gratifying! You won’t miss the meat at all. Caribbean East Indian spices are the real deal in this tasty curry dish.
This picture sums up a part of my life. Spicy, delicious-sweet potato and curry channa. I really don’t think anything could make me happier right now. Maybe there is! Well just let us leave that alone for now.
This recipe came to me when I was going through my grieving process and wanted to
keep busy, which by the way was very hard to do. I thought to myself, I want spice, I want
curry, I want channa, I am hungry. Wanting something is one thing, the other is cooking
whatever you can find in your pantry and/or refrigerator
Whoa! I found something, although not regular potatoes, but potatoes either way. How bad can it be? I guess I will find out
I made this tasty dish with none other than chief curry powder
