I had only two large sweet potatoes, green onions, 8 spears of asparagus, coconut milk, curry mix, two large chicken breasts, one ripe avocado and jasmine rice. I had NO regular potatoes or sweet onions, two ingredients usually required to make chicken and potato yellow curry. So I entered the foods I had and up popped this recipe. How lucky I was, for this meal was a big hit with both my spouse and me. I will definitely use this recipe again, perhaps adding carrots or green peas for variety instead of asparagus, but I will keep the sweet potatoes and avocado (sliced and placed on top just before serving), which made the dish extra healthy and flavorful.

A beautiful dish - it would never have occurred to me to use sweet potatoes in a Thai curry, but the sweetness works really well with the curry flavours! The scallions at the grocer's were looking rather sad so I used a small young leek instead. Added a teaspoon of dried kaffir leaf flakes (definitely recommend!) and served over jasmine rice. Thank you for a lovely recipe!
