Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, heat 4 tablespoons of the thick coconut cream on high for about 1 minute, then add the oil. When the cream starts to sizzle, stir the curry paste into the cream like building a roux. Stir-fry the paste for about 1 minute, until the paste starts to thicken, dry out and become fragrant. If the curry starts to sputter, add a small amount of coconut milk and/or oil to keep the paste moving. Cook the paste until it has the consistency of peanut butter.
- Stir the sweet potato cubes, onion, basil, half of the lime leaves and remaining coconut milk into the curry paste. Increase the heat to high until you reach a full rolling boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let the curry simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Also check that the curry is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
- Add the chicken. Let this simmer for 5 to 7 more minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Stir in the fish sauce, sugar and tamarind. Add the bell pepper strips and turn off the heat. Serve hot over cooked rice. Garnish with the Thai basil, remaining lime leaves and diced bell pepper.

Steps:
- 1. Combine 2 tablespoons of the curry powder and the salt in a bowl. Add the chicken and turn to coat the meat evenly. Set aside for 30 minutes. 2. Heat the oil in a medium pot over moderate heat. Add the shallot, garlic, chili paste and the remaining 1 tablespoon curry powder, and stir until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add the chicken and cook until the edges of the pieces are golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the fish sauce, sugar, lemongrass, ginger and chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat. Add the carrots and cook for 10 minutes. Add the coconut milk, onion and sweet potato and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.

CROCK POT ORANGE-CURRY CHICKEN WITH SWEET POTATO PILAF
This dish came from a long stare into the pantry trying to put together a meal when I didn't have enough sweet potatoes for all 6 of us and couldn't get to the store. But I had a bunch of little oranges the kids weren't eating. Sometimes necessity is delicious. ;) It's not as involved as the long ingredient list looks and I'm sure it would be easy to halve if you're not feeding a big family with hungry teens.

- Sprinkle each chicken with a pinch of celery seed, a pinch of cumin, and 1/2tsp of curry powder.

SWEET CHICKEN CURRY
This is an adaptation of my mother's curry recipe. It produces a delightfully mild (depending on your curry mix) and sweet stew. This mixture makes enough mild, sweet curry to feed six unashamedfly hungry people, and freezes well.To lose the syrupy/sweet aspect, use plain coconut cream instead of the colada mix. If you can't find coconut milk, use some plain yogurt and brown sugar or honey instead.

Steps:
- In a pot, brown the meat, onions and garlic in oil (Chicken should be skinned). Generously sprinkle curry powder on meat (commercial preparations are fine on their own or cut with some homemade).
- Mix your stock and thickener in a cup.
- Add stock mixture, coconut milk and cream to the chicken.
- If you don't want to break the bank over one meal, forage in your refrigerator for any questionable vegetables you want to use up and start dicing potatoes and throw them in now.
- Season to taste. Simmer for at least 10 minutes- thickening your sauce to desired consistency, though feel free to torment your family and/or guests by cooking this for a few hours.
- Serve with rice, thick pita bread, salad and your fave condiments.
- Suggested condiments include corn kernels, peanuts (or other nuts), raisins, chopped hard-boiled eggs, sliced banana in lemon or lime juice, sliced cucumber in yoghurt (or in a cream dressing- we like garlic), dried coconut, raisins and other dried fruits, and chutney.
SWEET POTATO, COCONUT MILK, AND BANANA CURRY (ROTISSERIE CHICKEN
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.

CHICKEN CURRY WITH SWEET POTATOES
Ca ri ga - True to the Vietnamese style of curry-making, this recipe is milder and lighter than Indian or Thai curries. You can make this with chicken stock, but the coconut milk adds body and enhances the overall flavor. Depending on my mood and the time of year, I sometimes serve this with a warmed baguette (a French influence) instead of steamed rice. Other times, I just make the curry with more broth and serve it with rice noodles. Like other curries, it's delicious the next day.
