Method:
First peel and roughly cut your sweet potatoes and set aside. Prepare you chilli, ginger and garlic also.
In a medium sized pan on a medium heat a small amount of oil. Sweat off your onions, garlic chilli and ginger. Meanwhile in a large mixing bowl add your sweet potato mixed with a small amount of oil. Season the potatoes with salt followed by all of the dried spices. Add this to the pan to incorporate everything. Cook for around 10 minutes to infuse all the flavour of the spices then add your coconut milk, chopped tomatoes and fresh tomatoes.
This can be cooked on the stove on a low heat for around an hour, alternatively it can be put in the oven for around 40 mins at 170c
The cashew nuts I have slightly toasted which can be done under the grill or in the oven for around 8 minutes.
Once the potatoes are cooked add you washed spinach to the curry. Mix this through and heat of the curry will wilt down the leaves.
Scatter your cashew nuts over the curry and serve with rice! Enjoy!
