What Veggies Are Good For Curry?
There are so many different delicious veggies you can use in curry. Some of my favorite ones for my vegan curry are sweet potatoes, garlic, onion, and greens.

Now that we have covered a few quick things to note for this recipe, let’s go through the list of ingredients you will need to make this vegan sweet potato curry.
Vegan Sweet Potato Curry – Ingredients
- Sweet Potato – The first essential ingredient you will need for this recipe is, of course, the sweet potato.
- Chickpeas – The chickpeas are another essential ingredient for this delicious vegan curry. They add a ton of flavor and some plant based protein to the dish.
- Mushrooms – Mushrooms are one of my favorite veggies, so I had to include them in this curry dish. While they aren’t typically found in traditional curry, I added them in for some extra flavor and nutrients.
- Bell Pepper – The bell pepper adds a ton of flavor to this curry recipe. I like to use red or orange bell pepper, as I think these varieties have a bit more sweetness than green bell pepper.
- Baby Carrots – The baby carrots pair extremely well with the other veggies and spices present in this vegan curry. They are an essential ingredient for my vegan curry recipe.
- Yellow Onion – The yellow onion combines perfectly with all of the other veggies and spices present in this tasty sweet potato and chickpea curry.
- Greens – The greens add a ton of nutrients to this sweet potato curry. They tend to shrink down a lot as they cook. You can use whichever greens you prefer or have on hand. I used some power greens that I picked up from Trader Joe’s, which has a mix of kale, spinach, and chard.
- Red Curry Paste – The red curry paste is an absolutely essential ingredient which adds a ton of flavor and spice to this curry. After all, you can’t have a curry dish without the curry flavor.
- Minced Garlic – Minced garlic is a key ingredient in this delicious vegan curry. It adds a ton of flavor to this recipe.
- Turmeric – Turmeric adds beautiful color and flavor to this curry. It is a vibrant orange colored spice.
- Cumin – The cumin is another spice you will use in this vegan sweet potato curry.
- Garlic Powder – Garlic powder adds even more garlic flavor to this vegan curry.
- Onion Powder – The onion powder adds some onion flavor to the sweet potato curry.
- Coconut Milk – Coconut milk is the first important source of liquid you will need for the curry. The coconut flavor blends perfectly with the other key flavors present in this recipe.
- Water – The water adds extra liquid to this curry recipe. However, if you want a really strong coconut flavor, you can sub the water out for extra coconut milk.
