Sweet Potato, Coconut Milk, and Banana Curry (Rotisserie Chicken image

This curry uses rotisserie chicken, which makes it super easy. Cooking the spices in the very beginning really helps enhance the flavor. This can be made a day ahead as long as you wait until serving time to add the bananas. Stir them in when the stew warms up and then simmer about 5 minutes.

I'm allergic to bananas, so I substituted applesauce instead. It worked really well and I couldn't even tell that there weren't any bananas in it.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dish turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much coconut milk.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my guests. I usually serve it with rice and a side of naan bread.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more spices. I added a teaspoon of garam masala and a half teaspoon of cayenne pepper and it was much better.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a bit more salt. Other than that, it was perfect.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just because I used a medium curry paste. Next time I'll use a mild paste and see if that makes a difference.

I'm not a huge fan of curry, but this dish was surprisingly good. The sweetness of the sweet potatoes and bananas balanced out the spice of the curry perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.

I made this last night and it was delicious! I used a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and it worked perfectly. The curry sauce is so flavorful and creamy. I will definitely be making this again.

This is the ultimate comfort food! It's so creamy and flavorful, and the chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender. I served it over rice and it was a hit with my family.
