    A bite of this flavorful curry will make you fall in love. I know I did! Curry has a special place in my heart. The earthy depth of flavor, the sensation of spice, and creamy texture... I honestly can't get enough. This curry is meatless and includes soft chickpeas and sweet potatoes.

    Whether you eat this by itself, over rice, or paired with fresh naan. It is amazing! You can play around with the fresh herbs added or even add more spices to your taste. Be prepared for a hearty vegan meal that will satisfy all your cravings!
