Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.
Blend the sweet potatoes in a food processor until smooth. Add almond flour and the egg, and pulse until a dough forms. Set aside to rest.
Dice the chicken breast into small cubes. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon coconut oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken until no longer pink, about 5 minutes, then remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of coconut oil. Finely chop the onion and garlic, then sauté until translucent. Dice the carrot and add to the skillet, cooking for another 3 minutes.
Stir in the peas, curry powder, salt, black pepper, and coconut milk, mixing well. Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Roll out the sweet potato dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/4-inch thickness. Cut dough into circles using a round cutter or a glass.
Place a spoonful of the chicken curry mixture onto each dough circle, fold in half, and press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
Place the puffs onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with the remaining tablespoon of melted coconut oil.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the puffs are golden brown.
Let cool slightly and garnish with chopped cilantro leaves before serving.
