Method
- Make the mash. Cook the sweet potatoes in a pan of boiling, lightly salted water for 15 minutes, until tender. Drain well, mash with the soured cream, seasoning and chives.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, chilli and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes, until golden. Add the cumin seeds, cook for 1 minute, then stir in the tomatoes, mince and curry paste and cook for 5 minutes, until the tomatoes are pulpy. Add the stock and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6. Stir the peas and lime juice into the keema mix and season. Spoon into an ovenproof dish and top with the mash, roughing it up slightly.
- Transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, until the top is lightly browned. Serve with mango chutney.
