Sweet Potato and Spinach Curry

So as promised here is my recipe for sweet potato and spinach curry.

You will need -

1-2 cloves of garlic
1 large onion
2 sweet potatoes
1/2 a bag of fresh spinach
1 can of coconut milk
1-2 tea spoons of curry paste (I use pataks) with a little hot water
1 handful of ground almonds
(other veggies can be added)
Rice and poppadoms to serve

Slice and fry the onion in a little olive oil in a large pan (I use a cast iron one). Once the onion is golden brown add the garlic (either crush, press or slice the garlic). Once the garlic has been heated through add the sweet potato until slightly softened. Then add the curry paste and stir in thoroughly, after which add the hot water. After which add the coconut milk. Bring to the boil and add the ground almonds. At this point you may wish to add some other vegetables, such as broccoli/peas/green beans etc. Turn the heat down and leave the curry to simmer for about 10mins. During this time you can prepare some rice and poppadoms. Once the curry is ready to serve add the spinach and serve.

I do hope that if you try this you enjoy it as much as I do.
