- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional!)
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced (about 1 cup)
- 1 cup filtered water, divided
- 1 can (14-ounces) full-fat coconut milk (I swapped for light)

Instructions
- Toast the curry powder, sea salt, coriander, ginger and turmeric in a medium-sized stockpot over medium heat for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
- Add the yellow onion and 1/3 cup of the water, and cook for 5 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent, stirring frequently.
- Whisk in the coconut milk and remaining 2/3 cup water, and bring to a boil.
- Add sweet potatoes, decrease heat to medium-low, cover, and rapidly simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the scallions, raisins (if using), and cilantro, and continue to simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes, or until sweet potatoes begin to break down into the sauce, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
- Spoon the curry into bowls and serve over warm brown rice with spritzes of lime, alongside pita, if desired.
- Enjoy!
