Hey Steem -fam! I've had a bit more time in the kitchen recently after a slightly lazy summer and now I'm looking forward to embracing the winter months getting creative with delicious, warming food 馃槉
I love Indian food, to me there's nothing better than sweet, creamy, coconutty curry with a hint of ginger and spice- so that's exactly what I went for! I've never tried putting sweet potato in a curry but the idea of that seemed like the perfect addition to a sweet curry so I went for it!
What you'll need (Serves 4):
400ml can coconut milk
500g sweet potato, peeled and cubed
2 tsp smooth peanut butter
3 tbsp red curry paste (be careful- most brands contain fish!)
200g fresh spinach
2 inch chunk of fresh ginger- grated
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 red onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 lime, juiced
Handful of cashews, roughly chopped.
To serve: Cooked rice
Method:
Melt the coconut oil in a large pan, fry the onions for 5 minutes until browned.
Add the ginger and garlic and fry for a further 1 minute.
Stir in the curry paste, peanut butter and sweet potato, then the coconut milk and 200ml of water.
Bring to the boil, then leave to simmer for 25 minutes or until the sweet potato has softened.
Stir in the spinach, lime juice and salt and pepper to taste.
Serve over cooked rice, with a sprinkling of cashews for garnish.
It's so simple and delicious!
This recipe is definitely going into my regular rotation- so creamy and sweet it's the perfect winter comfort food 馃構 Never again will I be tempted by ordering Indian takeaway when I know a simple, easy and healthy option is so easy to achieve at home.
