Make

  1. Heat a Dutch oven or large saute pan with butter over medium-high heat. Add garlic, curry powder, garam masala, and tomato paste. Saute until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.

  2. Pour coconut milk and stock over aromatics / spices and bring to a simmer, stirring to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan.

  3. Add sweet potatoes and beans to the pan and cover. Simmer until sweet potatoes are tender, 8 to 10 minutes.

  4. Remove from heat and stir in peas and lime juice. Season with some salt.

  5. If quinoa was made ahead, reheat in the microwave (reserve half if doubled).

  6. Serve curry over quinoa with yogurt and cilantro on top. Enjoy!
