This is my ideal curry. I could eat it every day. Until forever. I have adapted it from a recipe by Lorraine Pascal called ‘Sri Lankan Curry’ which I tried last summer. It needed a little ‘clean’ up but even then, Clean Eating to me is not just about eating something that’s just made from natural ingredients. Clean Eating is about getting as many healthy vitamins, minerals and goodness into my body as possible.
I’ve added onion, sweet potato, kale and mushrooms to this dish to give it an extra bit of loving from the vegetable department, but you could use any vegetables you like. A handful of raisins would probably work well in it too.
This Clean Eating Chicken and Sweet Potato Curry is minimal work and seems to just cook itself. Its perfect alongside some wholegrain rice or homemade Clean Eating Indian Chapattis. Did I mention it’s the best curry ever?

Just made this curry. What can I say….. Wow delicious. Thank you for the recipe x
So happy to hear it Sharon! Thank you for letting me know 🙂
This recipe is amazing! One of my favourite meals! I love hot food so I add hot chilli powder and use a fair bit of encona hot pepper sauce! Thank you so much xx
Just wondering could i chuck this all in the slow cooker??
Did you get a reply to putting in slow cooker?
This is now my go to curry recipe! So glad I stumbled across your site and blog!
Just making this now and my kitchen smells amazing!!!
Hope you love it as much as we do Danielle!
Made this last night. Immense. As good as a takeaway.
Hi! This looks great, before I cook does the chicken need to be pre cooked or can it go in raw?
How many calories is this meal ?
Can u use alpro coconut milk or does it have to be from a tin thanks
Its the same kind as the tinned coconut milk, not the Alpro one. I use the creamed coconut sachets to make up the milk instead of a tin these days.
so glad I found this site so sick of processed meals and boring old meal times, forgot to add in the garlic but it was still delicious, my daughter who hates sweet potato loved it too!!
thanks for sharing
Do you know the calorie content per serving for this dish please. Sound delicious
Just making this now hope it’s as nice as it says in the comments
This is just gorgeous curry only problem was how to thicken it up a bit ? Maybe less water added ? Let me know but have to say it’s yummy

Just made this but it’s very watery. I am trying to thicken it up before we can eat! I would suggest adding 100ml and see how that goes. Can always add, but can’t take it back out.
