sweet potato and chicken curry
This recipe is intended for a slow-cooker. As I don't have a crock pot, I cook it in a traditional pot over the stove and leave it to simmer for a bit afterwards. It uses curry powder but it not spicy and includes a natural sweetness due to the vegetables and the coconut milk. The vegetables can be substituted or supplemented with pumpkin and potatoes.
