Prepare the vegetables by peeling and dicing the sweet potato, peppers and onions. The sweet potato should be bite size pieces so they don’t disintegrate when cooking. Crush the garlic.
-
Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan. Fry the spices for half a minute. Add the onion and garlic. Gently fry for about 2 minutes until soft, then add the peppers and sweet potato and cook for a further 2 minutes.
-
Add the creamed coconut and vegetable stock and bring to the boil. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
-
Cook the Tilda Brown & White rice as per the on-pack instructions. Cook the broccoli if using.
-
After 15 minutes, add the pineapple then simmer for 10 minutes or until the sweet potato is soft and the sauce has thickened.
-
Drain the rice and place on a serving dish, then pour the Sweet Potato Curry on top. Garnish with chopped coriander and serve.
