Loaded Indian Spiced Sweet Potatoes

August 23, 2020 / Niki / 7 Comments

It’s been a while since I’ve created a sweet potato recipe and this one combines some of my favourite flavours. The sweet flash of roasted sweet potato, spiced peas, creamy coconut and fresh coriander. A beautiful mix. 

I think most people know about the health benefits of sweet potatoes as they are great sources of fibre, vitamins and minerals and I love to use them in curries, soups, stews etc

.I’ve got to say I don’t roast them as much as white potatoes but I love them here where I think the spices compliment the sweeter taste.


The curry is pretty mild so I think that all the family with love this. Top with a generous dollop of cream coconut yogurt and a sprinkle of fresh herbs! So good xx

Swaps advice;

  •  This recipe also works with baked potatoes – just make sure that they are cooked through.
  • I love using peas but you could swap for chickpeas or beans of choice
  • If you dont have coconut cream or yogurt – you can use any plant based yogurt or Oatley creme fresh is brilliant as well.

    These look great! My boyfriend had an appetite though. Would you recommend anything to go with this for a bit more food? Thanks. X

    Made this tonight. The flavour was great! But I had to cook the sweet potatoes twice as long as called corn in the recipe. Might be the different kind/size we have in Canada though 🙂 Thanks!
