In last week’s video I discussed the major differences between curry powders and how important it is to read the ingredients. As promised, this week I’m going to show you how I make one of my favourite curries!

Below are the ingredients and method, but watch the video for the full explanation and some hints and tips!

What You’ll Need:

• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 clove of garlic, chopped
• 1 large sweet potato, cut into small cubes
• 1 packet of green beans
• 1 tin of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 tin of coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons of curry powder (I use the Tesco Medium Curry Powder)
• Olive oil

How It’s Done:

• Add a little olive oil (or whatever oil you use) to a suitable pan
• Add the onion and garlic and allow to cook for a minute or two
• Add the sweet potato and curry powder and mix well before adding the coconut milk
• Bring to the boil and allow to simmer for about 10-15 minutes (you will need to add some water as well as the coconut milk reduces, to ensure the sweet potato are always covered with liquid)
• Add the green beans and chickpeas and a little more water
• Simmer for another 10 minutes until the sweet potato is cooked throughout (be careful not to overcook it or it will start to become mushy!)
• Serve with some brown rice
