South African Indian Butternut and Sweet Potato Curry Recipe
Serves 6
Indian African food
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into large bite-sized pieces
1 large butternut squash, peeled, de-seeded and cut into bite-sized pieces
1 medium chopped tomato
1 red onion, cut into chunks
3 hot chilies, cut into pieces
2 garlic cloves, halved
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon sea salt flakes, or to taste
2 teaspoon coconut oil
1 cup of coconut milk
1 1/2 cups vegetable stock
Directions
Put the onion, chilies, ginger, garlic, turmeric, ground coriander, cinnamon and salt into a food processor and blend to a paste. Heat the coconut oil in a wide lidded heavy-based casserole, then fry the paste for about 1 minute, stirring well. Stir coconut milk into the paste, stirring everything together over the heat for minute, followed by the stock, tomatoes, then the sweet potato and squash. Stir well, bring to the boil and, once bubbling, turn down the heat, put the lid on and simmer for 40–50 minutes until the sweet potatoes are soft and the squash cooked through. Serve with the rice or naan bread.
