INGREDIENTS:

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 red onions, thinly sliced

2 large cloves of garlic, finely chopped

1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

2 green chillies, thinly sliced

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon black mustard seeds

1 heaped teaspoon turmeric

METHOD:

800 g (1¾ lb) sweet potato, diced with skins left on

375 ml (13 fl oz) vegetable stock

150 g (5 oz) spinach, coarsely chopped

Large handful of fresh coriander leaves, coarsely torn

1 tablespoon toasted flaked almonds

Heat the oil in a large saucepan and cook the onion, garlic, ginger, and chilli.

When the onion has softened, add all the spices and heat until they are becoming fragrant.

Add the sweet potato and stock and simmer for about 15–20 minutes until the sweet potato is soft. 

At this point add the spinach.

Once the spinach has wilted, the curry is ready to serve with coriander leaves, topped with flaked almonds.
