Ingredients

4 T peanut oil
4 onions, finely chopped
1 T crushed garlic, ginger, chilli and turmeric, 1 tablespoon of each
1 T lemongrass, finely chopped
1 T ground coriander
1 x 400 ml can coconut cream
1 x 400 ml can coconut milk
2 cups good-quality chicken stock
2 T fish sauce
2 T brown sugar
1 kg sweet potato peeled, sliced and diced
2 rotisserie chicken (or 1.5kg cooked chicken, torn into pieces)
2 limes, juiced
60 g fresh basil, torn
