I added a can of chickpeas an it added a much needed different texture. I also added a bit sirracha as my sweet potato was very sweet. I love this recipe as an easy week night go to to use up extra vegetables.

I have to review this cuz I tagged it. Otherwise I wouldn't rate it. I'm really sorry but this was bland like Shazzie quoted. I myself felt there was just too much coconut milk.

I'm afraid I found this dish tasted too overwhelmingly of coconut milk and tumeric without enough flavoursome spicy heat for my taste.

Not only is this delicious, but it's pretty and colorful, too. I choose a mild, sweet curry and I thought it went well against the heat of the chili. The only thing I added was a pinch of salt. This will be made again for sure. Thanx for sharing!
