SWEET POTATO CURRY WITH SPINACH AND CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• You may choose to cook the sweet potatoes however you prefer.
• I like to peel, chop and steam mine in a veggie steamer for about 15 minutes.
• Baking or boiling work well too.
• While sweet potatoes cook, heat 1-2 tsp of canola or vegetable oil over medium heat.
• Add onions and sauté 2-3 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
• Next, add the curry powder, cumin, and cinnamon, and stir to coat the onions evenly with spices.
• Add tomatoes with their juices, and the chickpeas, stir to combine.
• Add ½ cup water and raise heat up to a strong simmer for about a minute or two.
• Next, add the fresh spinach, a couple handfuls at a time, stirring to coat with cooking liquid.
• When all the spinach is added to the pan, cover and simmer until just wilted, about 3 minutes.
• Add the cooked sweet potatoes to the liquid, and stir to coat.
• Simmer for another 3-5 minutes, or until flavors are well combined.
• Transfer to serving dish, toss with fresh cilantro, and serve hot.
• This dish is nice served over basmati or brown rice.

SWEET POTATO, COCONUT, AND SPINACH CURRY WITH TARKA DHAL

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).

SPICED AUBERGINE, SWEET POTATO AND SPINACH CURRY

Steps:

• Cut Aubergines into 1 inch cubes, peel sweet potato and cut also into 1 inch cubes.
• Bruise the lemongrass and cut off the dry top half. Put lemongrass into processor with the coriander root and stems, garlic, ginger, chilli, lime leaves and 2 tbsp water. Blend to a paste.
• In a large fry pan heat 3 tbsp oil until almost smoking. Fry Aubergine in small batches until golden, remove and drain on kitchen paper.
• Place a large saucepan over a medium heat and add the remaining 1 tbsp oil, when hot add onions and cook, stirring from time to time for about 5 mins until translucent. Add the paste together with the roasted spice mix and cook, stirring for 3-4 mins to release the flavours.
• Pour in the coconut milk, then add the tamarind water, fish sauce and sugar. Stir well, bring to the boil, than add the sweet potato.
• Turn down the heat and simmer for 10 mins, then add the browned aubergine and cook for a further 5 minutes.
• In a separate pan cook the spinach quickly until just wilted. Tip into a sieve and refresh under cold running water and squeeze dry.
• Just before serving add the spinach to the curry and gently warm through. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary with sugar or fish sauce. You are looking for a balance of sweet, sour, hot and salty flavours.
