Curry and ginger are a match made in Heaven! My family just loves this dish. It has a nice mild sweetness courtesy of the sweet potatoes, and the bold savory kick of curry and onion. A couple fresh bay leaves gives that almost woodsy flavor that just brings everything together. Because we are not on restricted diets in our household, we opt for the more affordable chicken thighs. However, this recipe would be suitable for chicken breasts. Either way, enjoy!
