- 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.
- Heat oil in a small skillet on medium heat. Fry curry leaves for 1 min, or until crisp and lightly colored.
- 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.
