• 1 Tbs olive oil
• 2 cups vegetable broth

*Light coconut milk is a low-fat alternative. You may also substitute for unsweetened, unflavored soy or nut milk, cow’s milk (for non-vegan), or you may dilute regular coconut milk with water (i.e. 2/3 cup coconut milk + 1/3 cup water for a recipe that calls for 1 cup)

Directions

1. Begin by preparing all of your vegetables and measuring out your spices.
2. In a separate pot or rice cooker, begin cooking your rice.
3. Next, in a large stockpot on high heat, heat the olive oil and begin sauteing the garlic until fragrant, about 20-30 seconds.
4. Then, saute the onion and celery for 7-10 minutes or until lightly softened. You may add a splash of the vegetable broth to prevent sticking.
5. Mix in the curry paste.
6. Add the diced sweet potato and stir to coat in the oil.
7. Afterward, add the spices and cook on medium-high heat for 10 minutes.
8. Stir in the chickpeas and mushrooms, then add the coconut milk, vegetable broth, and tomato sauce. Combine well.
9. Cover the pot with a lid and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are cooked through.
10. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Serve over rice and with optional toppings and enjoy!
