Chicken Curry with Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are a very healthy food that is becoming increasingly popular here as well. We can add them to soups and stews, cut them into sticks and fry them, or use them to make a delicious puree. They are also an excellent addition to spicy dishes, as their natural sweetness provides a great counterbalance to spicy seasoning blends.

Advice

You can enrich the curry before serving by adding thick yogurt. Sweet potatoes are not related to regular potatoes, although both originate from Central America. The red sweet potato with sweet orange flesh is good for roasting, purees, soufflés, and stuffings. The white sweet potato is finer and has a drier white flesh. It can be fried, boiled, or used in mixed meat and vegetable dishes. Instead of sweet potatoes, you can use regular potatoes.
