Clean Eating Chicken and Sweet Potato Curry

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?
