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?

6th January 2015 at 12:53 pmJust tried this recipe after finding your blog last night… It was delicious! I was blown away at how filling it was as well, and ended up with some leftovers for lunch today, and I am currently ploughing through it at a rate of knots. Gotta say, fantastic recipe, and well worth the try, I will be looking forward to more recipes from you! Cheers Charlie!

19th September 2015 at 8:56 pmI’ve made this three times now, it’s an absolute winner! So fragrant, clean and delicious. My 14 month old twin boys love it too. I’ve also changed the sweet potatoe and replaced it with butternut squash, super yummy.
Geraldine Brown
6th October 2015 at 7:11 pmJust made this for dinner and it was delicious. I had made some chicken stock using the carcass of Monday’s roast chicken, which I used instead of water. There was enough sauce and sweet potato leftover and so I have blitzed it and made sweet potato soup for my lunch tomorrow. Yummy! Thank you x
Claire Stevens
9th October 2015 at 11:57 amI love this recipe and it is a absolute favourite with everyone. I usually use chicken thighs as cheaper and then just remove the bones when shred the meat.
However I wondered if it could be made in a slow cooker?

1st August 2017 at 6:35 pmCan u use alpro coconut milk or does it have to be from a tin thanks
The Kitchen Shed
1st August 2017 at 7:36 pmIts 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.
karen

31st January 2018 at 6:13 pmJust 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.
