Green Curry with Sweet Potato and Aubergine (Eggplant) Recipe
Green curry with sweet potato and aubergine delivers an absolutely ace vegetarian curry that combines traditional Indian spices with hearty vegetables. This flavorful dish features tender sweet potato chunks and silky eggplant pieces simmered in a vibrant green curry sauce. The combination of these vegetables creates perfect textural contrast while absorbing the aromatic spice blend beautifully. This traditional vegetarian recipe proves that plant-based curries can be just as satisfying as meat-based versions. When served properly, this curry becomes a crowd-pleasing meal that converts even dedicated meat lovers to appreciate vegetarian cuisine.

An ace curry — traditional, vegetarian, and tasty as all else! An Indian dish, when I serve this up, my mates, family, or peers are quite chuffed and I’m always asked for the recipe. Any sort of rice can be used; I suggest cooking jasmine rice ahead of time and keeping it warm until curry is done, then serving it and pouring the chili over or next to it. Garnish with shredded lime leaf and cilantro.
