Ingredients: 3 tablespoons red curry paste; 6 chicken thigh fillets, halved (breasts can be used, I cut into strips); 2 cups sweet potatoes, chopped (kumara, the orange one); 2 cups chicken stock; 1 1/2 cups coconut milk (I use skim evaporated coconut milk); 1/4 cup coriander leaves, whole leaves (cilantro)

"This beautiful red curry is a Donna Hay recipe from Marie Claire's Food Fast cookbook. It is so easy to make and truly delicious. I've made this a few times now and find it easier to have all ingredients on hand - even the rice accompaniment ready to go on. I use my favourite rice recipe Never-Fail Rice #78118 to go with this lovely curry. I often sub turkey for the chicken. Don't let the coconut milk boil as it will separate - the flavour will be the same but the appearance, & texture will be different."

Hi I’m Glen and I live in Sydney with my wonderful husband Ross. We have eight beautiful grandchildren, two of them live near us in Sydney, two live in Western Australia, two more live in Queensland and another two in northern NSW. I can't imagine how I ever managed before I found Zaar - I use it regularly to plan meals and find new and interesting recipes and most important of all to keep track of our family favourites. <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://wmg.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://wmg.photobucket.com/albums/v209/rglgrl/1159781795.pbw" height="240" width="360"></embed> The photos are of our beautiful grandchildren. <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://wmg.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://wmg.photobucket.com/albums/v209/rglgrl/1160294339.pbw" height="360" width="360"></embed> <a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/rglgrl/Collagez520-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting">
