4 Medium sweet potatoes
2 Tbsp of olive or coconut oil
2 Tbsp fresh or packaged red curry paste
1 Can of coconut milk
1 Cup of water
4 Kaffir lime leaves
1 Tsp of fish sauce

Notes
- SWEET POTATO provides us with lots of beta carotene – with only 100g you already cover the daily requirement (8.6mg / 100g); it contains vitamin C, E, Potassium, Magnesium and Calcium. No vegetable contains more beta-carotene than the underground tuber. Beta-carotene is converted to vitamin A in the body.
- TAMARIND is used in Southeast Asian cooking to add a tangy touch and enhance the flavors of the curry paste ingredients. It can be replaced by lime or lemon juice.
