After having unseasonably warm weather all fall it very suddenly turned cold. All of a sudden we've had to dig out the winter jackets and the mittens. It seems like I've gone from slathering on sunscreen to prevent burns, to skin cream to prevent dryness overnight. But I don't mind. It means gorgeous fall foliage, cosy afternoons with steaming cups of tea, deep sleeps cuddled up under the comforter, and hot, hearty meals...including lots of stews, pastas and curries.
This kind of came together just by throwing together what I had in the house but it turned out so amazingly delicious, I had to share it. You can sub different veggies based on whatever you have lying around and I am sure it will still me fabulous. Adam really loved this one too, which given his carnivorous preferences, means it's got to be pretty awesome.
My curry turned out pretty green and white because I used a purple sweet potato that was white fleshed. You'll get a much more golden curry if you use a regular orange sweet potato.
