It\u2019s for surely gotta be sweet potato curry, for surely for sure. There just cannot be anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m not just talking about just any old&nbsp;curry -&gt; I\u2019m talking \nabout&nbsp;the kind of curry that hits that perfect spot between \nsilky-creaminess and fire-breathing flavor all in one sweeping, \nsaucy&nbsp;bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, just off the top of my head: Creamy Thai Sweet Potato \nCurry&nbsp;that can be made in about 20 minutes and that just makes your \nheart sing for joy when you remember that you have at least three \nservings of it left in the fridge and you are about to win big at \nLeftovers Lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is not one single thing&nbsp;I don\u2019t love about this type of food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You know those recipes that you make once, and then you make twice, \nand then suddenly a week has gone by and you\u2019ve really only made that \none same recipe and you&nbsp;realize that you\u2019re&nbsp;either a boring person&nbsp;for \nmaking the same thing over and over again or (more accurately) a winner \nfor knowing which recipes are worth your time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s too good NOT to make. It is all this and more:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>nutritious<\/li><li>quick<\/li><li>easy<\/li><li>COMFORT FOOD TO THE MAX<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Let\u2019s Talk Curry Paste<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Store bought red curry paste works just fine in this recipe. It\u2019s how\n I started making it, actually. But then I did something that ended up \nbeing magical: I started adding a spoonful of homemade yellow curry \npaste in with the store bought red curry paste and BOOM! Flavor \nexplosion. Maybe it\u2019s all in my mind, but probably not \u2013&nbsp;the curry paste\n combo is just epically delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You laugh now, but we\u2019ll see who gets the last laugh here. WE\u2019LL SEE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three Curry scenarios here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li><strong>You are intimidated by curry-making.<\/strong> Just buy \nsome red curry paste (available at most grocery stores these days) or \ngrab some on Amazon because you have Prime with 2 day shipping, don\u2019t \nyou, you little smartie?
