Sweet Potato Coconut Curry Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan and add the onion. Fry gently for 10 mins until soft then add the garlic and grate the ginger straight into the pan. Stir in the paprika and the cayenne and cook for another minute then tip into the slow cooker.
• Return the pan to the heat and add another 1 tbsp oil along with the chilli, red pepper and shredded cabbage. Cook for 4-5 mins then tip into the slow cooker.
• Use the remaining oil to fry the sweet potatoes, you may have to do this in 2 or 3 batches depending on the size of your pan. Cook the sweet potatoes for around 5 mins or just until they start to pick up some colour at the edges then put them in the slow cooker too.
• Pour the passata and the coconut milk over the sweet potatoes, stir to mix everything together and cover the slow cooker with a lid and cook for 6-8hrs or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
• Stir the peanut butter through the curry, season well with salt and pepper and serve with couscous and chopped coriander scattered over the top.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pan over medium high heat.
• Sauté the onions, garlic and ginger until onions are tender, but not browned.
• Add the curry powder and stir through.
• Add the lentils, sweet potato and courgette, stir and just barely cover with water (you can use vegetable or chicken stock if you prefer).
• Reduce heat and simmer covered for about 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the lentils are tender. If there's quite a bit of liquid you can add more lentils. Add salt to taste.
• Add coconut milk and simmer for a few minutes.
• Serve over rice, with naan or just enjoy on its own.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or wok, stir in the curry paste and fry for 1 minute. Add the chicken, sweet potatoes and lentils and stir to coat in the paste, then pour in the stock and coconut milk. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15 minutes.
• Tip in the peas, bring back to the boil and simmer for a further 4-5 minutes. Season to taste before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Cook 2 minutes or until onion is tender, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in tamarind or citrus fruit; cook 2 minutes, stirring to break up tamarind.
• Add ginger and next 5 ingredients (through cinnamon); cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Add remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, potato, water, milk, and tempeh; bring to a boil.
• Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Uncover; stir in lime juice and soy sauce. Simmer 3 minutes or until slightly thickened.

Steps:

• In a wide heavy-based pan, fry the onion in the oil with a lid on to soften for about 5 minutes. Stir in the sweet potato chunks, curry powder and turmeric and fast fry with the lid off until it begins to stick to the bottom.
• In batches, stir in the spinach, adding the ground almonds and chilli. When the spinach is all in the pot and begins to collapse, pour in the coconut milk, add some salt, stir well and put the lid back on.
• Keep it at an active simmer, stirring from time to time, for about 20 minutes until the potatoes are cooked. Take the lid off and let the curry reduce down to a thicker consistency (NB - only if the sauce looks like it needs it!)
• Finish the curry by stirring in the lime juice and adjust seasoning to taste.

Steps:

• Fry the cumin seeds for a minute in a dry medium-high frying pan and then grind them with the other whole spices in a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder.
• Fry onion, ginger, and chilli peppers in the oil until the onion is soft and translucent. Add the garlic and fry for a couple of minutes.
• Add the spices and stir for a minute or so. Add the tomatoes, sugar, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes.
• Pour in the coconut milk, add sweet potatoes and chickpeas. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
• About 5 minutes before serving, add spinach if you are using it and cook until it just wilts but retains its bright green color.

• Serves well with brown and wild rice.

Steps:

• Make the spice blend: curry powder, salt, allspice, cinnamon and cayenne.
• Add oil to pan.
• Add onion and wait about 4 minutes until softened.
• Add ginger and garlic.
• Add bell pepper and wait about another 4 minutes for it to soften.

Steps:

• Get the curry going first. In a wide, heavy-based pan, fry the onion in the oil with a lid on to soften for about 5 minutes. Stir in the sweet potato chunks, curry powder, and turmeric, and fast-fry with the lid off until it begins to stick to the bottom.
• In two batches, stir in the spinach, adding the ground almonds and chilli. When all the spinach is in the pot and beginning to collapse, pour in the coconut milk, add some salt, stir well and put the lid back on.
• Keep it at an active simmer, stirring from time to time, for about 20 minutes until the spuds are cooked. Take the lid off and let the curry reduce down to a thicker consistency (another 10 minutes or so).
• For the dhal, gently fry the garlic and all the seeds (don't forget the cardamom) in the oil until they are a deep golden brown. Tip in the split peas and give them a good roll around in the garlicky oil then pour in 1l of water and turn the heat up.
• Slowly bring it to a gently boil over around 10 minutes then skim, cover and leave to simmer for 45 minutes-1 hour until the peas are well-cooked. Taste for seasoning - dried pulses take a lot of salt to reach their flavour zenith.
• Finish the curry by stirring in the lime juice and adjusting the seasoning. Serve with the dhal on the side and all the usual suspects (basmati rice, chutney, and yoghurt).
