Curry Paste 

Toast the ground spices on a low heat in a non-stick pan for 1 minute to release their flavour. Add the coconut oil, garlic, ginger, peanuts and lemongrass and combine together. Set aside.

Sweet Potato Curry

Add the coconut oil to a large non-stick pan and add the onion and cook until softened for a few minutes.

Add the chopped carrots, sweet potato and peppers and sauté for a few minutes.

Add in the crumbled vegetable stock cube, the curry paste and the pineapple & mango salsa.

Next add the coconut milk, chopped tomatoes and tomato puree. Stir well and bring up to the boil.

Reduce the heat and allow to cook for min. 30 minutes, or until the carrots and sweet potato are tender.

Then add the green beans and bring back up to the heat, cooking for a further 8 minutes before finishing with a squeeze of fresh lime juice, the fresh chopped basil and coriander. Serve with jasmine or basmati rice, with an extra sprinkle of chopped coriander.
