    Hello friends, and welcome to another quick and easy recipe on my blog! This week I brought you something saucy, creamy and super delicious. And as always, it is a fuss-free recipe that I'm sure you will love as much as I do!

    Since the weather is getting colder and we are stepping into the winter, I'm craving warming, saucy, hearty and comfort foods more than ever.
    I like cosy evenings, with my fluffy blanket on the sofa, watching Netflix and eating my favourite meals. And this delicious creamy coconut vegetable curry is one of these meals.

    We love curry dishes and have them at least once a week. Especially during autumn and winter. They are so easy to make, and you can use any vegetables you like, or lentils, chickpeas, or whatever you have at home.

    This creamy coconut vegetable curry made with sweet potatoes, cauliflower, spinach and green peas is a perfect weeknight dinner. It is delicious, healthy, vegan ( of course ), naturally gluten-free, and like any other curry dish, it tastes even better the day after.

    Before I made a final version of this curry, I gave some to my best friend to try. She and her kids loved it. So it is a kid-friendly meal too. 🙂

    This curry is a perfect meal if you're short on time! It tastes even better the next day or a day after. Add extra chilli to have it spicier, or replace the paprika with smoked paprika for the smokey taste.
