Steamed Coconut Chicken Packets

• 1 None banana leaf, blanched (optional)
• 1 cup flaked coconut
• 1/4 cup plain yogurt
• 1/2 cup coarsely chopped cilantro leaves, stems and roots
• 1/2 None fresh mint leaves
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 16 None curry leaves
• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
• 8 small boneless skinless chicken thighs

1. Cut banana leaf or foil into four 8-inch squares. Place coconut, yogurt, cilantro, mint and garlic in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add lemon juice and season to taste.
2. Heat oil in a small skillet on medium heat. Fry curry leaves for 1 min, or until crisp and lightly colored.
3. Divide sweet potatoes among banana leaf or foil squares. Top each with a piece of chicken and spread with a little paste. Top with another piece of chicken and spread with more paste. Top with curry leaves.
4. Fold leaf or foil to form a packet, sealing ends. Tie with string to secure. Place in a bamboo or metal steamer. Cover and steam over a saucepan of simmering water for 10-15 mins, until sweet potatoes are tender and chicken is cooked through.
