Ingredients

  1. 1 tbsp olive oil
  2. 4 shallots, sliced
  3. 2cm piece fresh ginger, diced
  4. ½ tsp garam masala
  5. 2 small sweet potatoes, cut into small wedges
  6. 350g balti sauce
  7. A handful of cherry tomatoes, halved
  8. 200g peeled raw king prawns
  9. ½ lime
  10. A handful of fresh coriander leaves

Method

  1. 1. In a large sauté pan, heat the olive oil and gently fry shallots and ginger for 5 minutes until softened.
  2. 2. Add garam masala and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes more. Add sweet potatoes and fry until golden, then pour in balti sauce and cherry tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.
