This sweet potato curry recipe uses store-bought red curry paste. This is a great option because its the most common curry paste found in stores. Every kind of curry paste will have a different flavor, so if you would rather try a green or yellow curry paste then go for it. You could also make your own curry paste at home if that is your preference.

How can I serve this Sweet Potato Chickpea Curry?

The most classic option to serve with curry is rice, which is what I suggest here. You can use Basmati rice for a traditional option, try brown rice for a healthier, fiber-rich option, or coconut rice for a sweeter experience. Instead of rice you could serve this with something like quinoa. You can also serve this curry with different flatbreads like Naan or Roti.
