I love curries, so it is no surprise that there are many different ones to be found here on Slimming Eats
This one is packed with flavour and is really delicious, the sweet potato adds a natural sweetness to this against the heat of the chili’s.
This can also easily be made SP friendly, by just switching out the sweet potato for some butternut squash.
I love to serve this with rice, but if you want to add more speed foods or are doing a SP day, then why not try it with my Roasted Cauliflower Rice
If you tried cauliflower rice before and wasn’t impressed, I recommend giving my version a go, roasting it in the oven gives it a lovely flavour. It’s my favorite way to cook it.

Chicken Sweet Potato & lentil Curry
Sweet potato & red lentils are not free on an original day so this recipe would not be syn free without the rice
I just made the Chicken, Sweet Potato and Lentil Curry – it was absolutely yummy! My family could not believe it was a ‘diet’ recipe! I will definitely make it again!
Sounds yum, must try this. Does it freeze well?
We had this last night – absolutely gorgeous. Thinking I might mix some pieces of apple through it before serving. Thanks so much 🙂
I am just making it right now. I have changed the chicken to pork as it’s first of January unlucky to eat chicken. I also swapped the sweet potatoes to normal ones as I haven’t had sweet ones. Let see what happens! 😉
