Lentil Sweet Potato And Chickpea Curry

Lentil, sweet potato and chickpea curry is a tasty vegan and gluten-free quick healthy meal. A simple blend of spices and healthy ingredients combine to create this amazing dish!

If like us you're often short on time and don't have ages to spend in the kitchen but want to enjoy a really delicious curry then this lentil sweet potato and chickpea curry is made exactly for you.

For example, as you might have read previously, Sunday dinner for us is normally a homemade curry.

Now, if we’re going out somewhere together, I’ll normally make this creamy lentil sweet potato and chickpea curry early in the morning so that we can enjoy the day together, without me panicking about what's for dinner.

Meaning we'll then have something to really look forward to on our return!

Plus this curry is just so quick and easy to make. All it takes is an hour and it makes enough for 4. You can freeze the other 2 portions if it's just yourself and your partner for dinner or it’s an ideal family curry!

I've used basic ingredients here too. Lentils, tinned tomatoes, chickpeas and sweet potatoes aren't going to break the bank which I'm sure you'll also agree is always a bonus.

As I've said before, I'm pretty tight when it comes to meal budgeting.

That and creating a weekly menu planner for the last 5 years has helped my other half and I to eat good wholesome food and still enjoy some pretty speculator holidays and trips away.

Plus we still save a portion of what's left over as per the 80/20 rule for money each month. I know I go on about it but it is all part of me investing to create an income so I can free up my time and do the things I love, like writing this blog.

So you see it's not all just about creating healthy recipes and sharing them with you that I write this blog. And one day I hope to share how I managed to make myself financially free, but that one is for the future, once I've done it!

But anyway, back to this amazing curry recipe....
