Chef’s tip
Make me with chicken: Omit the sweet potato and replace with 400g/14oz diced chicken. And fry off with the curry paste, then continue as above.
Make me with prawns: Omit the sweet potato add 350g/12oz raw prawns with the coconut milk and simmer until pink. If using cooked prawns these only need to warm through so add 2-3 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
