Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 yellow onions, chopped
6 tablespoons mild curry paste (such as Patak's®)
2 large cloves garlic, minced
4 chicken breasts
4 cups water
1 russet potato, chopped
1 sweet potato, diced, or more to taste
2 teaspoons sea salt, divided
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
1 carrot, chopped
2 tablespoons ground turmeric
1 ½ tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 lime, juiced
2 cups cooked jasmine rice

Steps:

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add onions, curry paste, and garlic and saute until onion is softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Make sure to mix well. Add chicken breasts, water, and russet potato. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a pan over medium heat. Add sweet potato and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt and toss to coat with oil. Cook, tossing frequently, until potatoes start to brown on the bottom, 5 to 7 minutes. Set potatoes aside.
Add coconut milk, carrot, turmeric, sugar, soy sauce, and remaining sea salt to the pan. Stir and return to a simmer, about 5 minutes. Stir in lime juice and season with additional salt, if desired.
Serve curry with a scoop of sweet potatoes on top of jasmine rice.
