Print Recipe

A creamy and flavorful dish combining coconut milk, sweet potatoes, and curry spices for a comforting and exotic side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (or vegan butter for dairy-free option)
  • 1½ tsp curry powder
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Peel and cube 2 lbs of sweet potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces.
  2. Place the cubes in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.
  3. Carefully drain the sweet potatoes using a colander and return them to the pot. Allow any excess moisture to evaporate for a minute or two.
  4. Using a potato masher or hand mixer, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Stop mashing once you reach your desired consistency.
  5. Pour in 1 cup of full-fat coconut milk, 2 tbsp of unsalted butter, 1½ tsp of curry powder, ½ tsp of ground cinnamon, ½ tsp of salt, and ¼ tsp of black pepper. Stir everything together until well combined.
  6. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more curry powder for extra spice or a pinch more cinnamon for sweetness.
  7. Transfer the mashed sweet potatoes to a serving bowl. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro or parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve warm.

Notes

[‘Choose deep orange sweet potatoes for a sweeter and creamier texture.’, ‘Cut sweet potatoes evenly to ensure even cooking.’, ‘Warm the coconut milk slightly before adding it to the mash for better blending.’, ‘Adjust seasoning to your taste preferences.’, ‘If the mash is too loose, simmer gently on the stovetop to thicken.’]
