Sweet Potato and Mushroom Curry - a simple delicious vegetable curry all ready in less than 30 minutes.

Sweet Potato and Mushroom Vegan Curry

Gotta love a simple vegetable curry and this delicious Sweet Potato and Mushroom Curry can be cooked stovetop or in an Instant Pot if you want to save even more time.

It is a perfect vegetable curry made with curry powder, the natural sweetness from Sweet Potato and all finished off with the creaminess of a little bit of coconut milk. It's so yummy even the meat-eaters will enjoy this dish.

Instant Pot Sweet Potato and Mushroom Curry

You may be wondering, What is an Instant Pot? An Instant Pot (Pressure Cooker) is a 7in1 cooker, that slow cooks, pressure cooks, sautes and has settings for soup, chilli, rice, porridge etc. It will literally cook these meatballs in minutes, so perfect for when you need a meal on the table quickly.

Since buying my Instant Pot, I use it on a regular basis, it’s not one of those gadgets that sit in my cupboard forgotten. In fact, it never goes away.

Instant Pot is a brand of an electric pressure cooker, but there are various other brands and options out there.

Can I use light coconut milk?

Feel free to swap the full-fat canned coconut for light. I prefer full fat as it is much more creamy and when you are dividing this curry recipe up into servings it really isn't too many points.

I don’t recommend using the coconut milk that comes in a carton, as it has a very high water content and will just be too runny and not pack enough flavour.

Types of Curry Powder

It really depends on your spice level as to what curry powder you choose to use. I always go for medium heat, but if you prefer hot or mild then make the swap to what you prefer.

There are various different brands out there too, I usually buy mine in bulk from the grocery store in a bag, as I use it often and the little jars of spices don’t last 5 seconds in my house.

Sides for Sweet Potato and Mushroom Curry

I simply like to go for some plain basmati rice alongside this curry with some baby spinach. If you are not keen on raw spinach, feel free to stir it through the curry or enjoy it just as it is with rice.

If you want more flavoursome sides these are great options:

• Sweetcorn Pilau Rice
• Zucchini Pilau Rice

or if you are trying to be healthy, these low carb cauliflower rice recipes are delicious.

• Roasted Cauliflower Rice
• Cauliflower and Zucchini Rice
