Chicken, Coconut & Sweet Potato Curry

I made this for the first time over the Christmas break and the kids loved it so I though I would share. Its my own recipe based on a curry recipe my dad gave me. The quantities are not exact as I do not measure as a rule. Its very mild and sweet why not add/ remove ingredients as you wish.

Ingredients
1 tbsp sunflower oil
1 small onion diced
1 clove crushed garlic or tsp of pureed garlic
1 large carrot peeled and diced
2 medium-sized sweet potatoes , peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
Cooked Chicken I cook a whole chicken and use legs, wings and fillets (keep breasts for another meal)
1 tbsp plain flour
1tbsp of mild curry powder (alter according to your taste)
300ml chicken stock
400ml can coconut milk
175g frozen peas

Method
1. Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or wok, add the onion, garlic, carrot and sweet potato. Cook until tender about 10 mins. Add the four and curry paste and fry for 1 minute. Next slowly add stock stirring to stop lumps forming. Add coconut milk and stir bring to the boil, then simmer for 10-15 minutes. Finally add the Chicken & peas, bring back to the boil and simmer for a further 4-5 minutes.

My girls love this curry with plain basmati rice but you can also serve with rice noodles, popadoms or chappati breads and introduce your kids to curry!
