1
In a large skillet, saute the onion in a drizzle of olive oil and add a pinch of kosher salt. Saute for about 8 minutes. Add the chicken breasts and garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes. Add the yams and potatoes and stir to ensure that everything is nicely mixed together. Then add all of the dry seasoning - pepper flakes, curry and crushed black pepper.
2
Mix thoroughly and add the can of tomato paste - coating everything in the red goodness. Stir in coconut milk, mix thoroughly, and then add the kaffir lime leaves, cover, and let simmer over low-medium heat for about 1/2 hour - stirring often. After 30 minutes, add the peppers and mushrooms. Cover and let simmer for about another 15 minutes.

Before serving, gently remove the lime leaves from the dish. Serve in a nice bowl, with a dollop of plain yogurt and the julienned lime leaves. I had a slice of whole wheat naan bread to go along side.
