Sweet Potato and Chicken Curry

Sweet Potato and Chicken Curry is a curry dish prepared with boneless chicken cooked with curry spices alongside sweet potatoes and lentils in coconut milk.

Freestyling again today so nothing much to say with this dish, basically like most of my freestyle dishes ingredients are made with what I randomly see in our fridge and pantry from leftovers I had from past dishes I prepared. So what we are preparing today is a chicken curry cooked in coconut milk together with two types of sweet potatoes, curry spices and a small amount of lentils to thicken it up. This dish turned out really great, slightly sweet, creamy and mildly spicy perfect with a nice naan bread or rice.
