I know a lot of people probably associate the idea of “cleansing” with thoughts of restriction, hunger, and a diet of bland meals. My experience with The Rose Cleanse, however, has been anything but bland.
In fact, I’m feeling more creative than ever in the kitchen!
Just take a look at my dinner last night:
This meal was delicious, flavorful, and oh-so-satisfying. And, believe it or not, it’s ALL vegetable based!
Sweet Potato Curry Sauce
makes about 3 cups
Ingredients:
2 cups steamed sweet potato chunks
1 teaspoon butter or coconut oil
1/2 yellow onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, sliced
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup water
1 Tablespoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon Garam Masala
1/2 teaspoon salt
Any veggies you like, for serving
Rice, or cauliflower “rice,” for serving
Directions:
In a saute pan, heat the butter or coconut oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, and saute for about 5 minutes, until tender. (You can do this while your sweet potato chunks are steaming!)
Transfer the onions, garlic and sweet potato chunks into a blender, and add the rest of the ingredients. Blend well, scraping down the sides, until everything is creamy. Adjust seasonings to taste and set aside– this is your curry sauce.
In a separate pot, saute any veggies you like until they are nearly tender.
I included sweet potatoes, broccoli, zucchini, carrots, and onion this time around.
Once your veggies are nearly cooked, pour the curry sauce over them.
Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat and cover, to let the flavors blend for about 5-10 minutes.
Your veggies will be nice and tender, while packing a huge punch of flavor!
The best part of curry dishes, if you ask me, is eating it the sauce with rice, so even if you’re not eating grains, you can still enjoy this curry sauce over a bed of cauliflower “rice!”
(Simply pulse raw cauliflower in a food processor, until you have a rice-like texture.)
Then serve it all together!

So warm and comforting, you’d never believe this meal is detox-friendly, to boot.
Enjoy!
I really like this recipe. I substituted some canned coconut milk for the almond milk because I didn’t have any unsweetened version. It tasted delicious!!
This recipe was great!
This is delicious! I’ve been making it several times a week since I discovered it a few weeks ago. I love coconut milk, but so often wind up throwing away half a can because I only need part for a recipe. I love the idea of using sweet potatoes to make the sauce. Please keep these kinds of recipes coming. Many thanks
Hey Megan
I just came across this website looking for “candida friendly recipes. Im a bit confused as i thought that starvhy foods such as potato is not recommended on a candida diet?
I followed a candida approach laid out in the book, Detox for Women: https://amzn.to/2IEsCtx In that plan, the author allows sweet potatoes. But, there are so many different approaches out there (including one that is more fruit-based, with no fat), so what you can eat will vary!
Wonderful recipe, many thanks from The Netherlands! 🙂
This curry was so delicious! Thanks for the recipe!
