Notes

  • Peanut Butter: Use smooth peanut butter for a creamier sauce. You can also try chunky peanut butter for added texture.
  • Spices: Adjust the spices to suit your taste. Add more chili if you like it spicier.
  • Sweet Potatoes: Make sure to peel and cube the sweet potatoes into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
  • Cooking Liquid: You can use vegetable broth or coconut milk to make the sauce richer. Coconut milk adds a slight sweetness that pairs well with the dish.
  • Make Ahead: This curry can be made ahead of time and stored for later use. The flavors develop even more after sitting in the fridge for a day or two.
