Sweet Potato Curry

Nothing is heartier than a bowl of warm curry on a chilly fall evening. This sweet potato curry mingles with the flavors of fall perfectly and is easy to prepare at home. Start with sautéing ginger, garlic, and onions in coconut oil. Add a halved cinnamon stick, a sprig of thyme, chopped green chilies, and yellow curry paste. Add 1 tsp of coriander powder, curry powder, and sweet paprika. Add in the butternut squash and coat it in all the spices. Add salt, pepper to taste and pour in 200 ml of coconut milk. Let it simmer on low heat for 25-30 minutes. Add in a handful of garbanzo beans and baby spinach and gently stir the curry. Finish the curry by adding some chopped cilantro leaves and a splash of lemon juice. Put some steamed brown rice in a bowl and pour over a ladle of curry in the bowl. 

Animal products are not necessarily bad, but too much animal products can cause inflammation and other health problems. If you are eating meat, fish, or eggs, always add some vegetables to make it a more balanced meal.
