This is sweet potatoe curry I make frequently
Ingreds:
2 or 3 large chopped sweet potatoes
2 chopped onions (I use red)
Large chunk Spinach
Can of chopped tomatoes
Can of coconut milk
Can of chickpeas. (Wash them first)
1 tsp of each spice:
cumin
turmeric
chilli powder.
Plus a garlic clove, some grated ginger & a lime.
(Alternatively instead of using those 3 spices, just use a curry paste.)
Par boil potatoes & drain.
Fry the onion in a little oil until soft in a large pan, then add the garlic, ginger & spices, Mix & leave for a minute of so.
Add & stir together the cans of tomatoe, & coconut with the onion & spices.
Add the potatoe & can of chickpeas.
Add some water or stock if consistency is too thick.
Leave to simmer for about 20 mins.
Add spinach & leave to wilt. Squeeze in lime juice. Mix & serve.
You could always add some chicken or lamb at the beginning with the onion too, if you prefer some meat in.
