Method
- In a large sauté pan, heat the olive oil and gently fry shallots and ginger for 5 minutes until softened.
- 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.
- Gently stir through king prawns. Simmer gently for 3 minutes until the prawns are cooked through. Squeeze over the lime and scatter with a handful fresh coriander leaves and some strips of red chilli. Serve with raita and a tandoori naan, if you like.

The prawn balti dish sounds delicious and I can’t wait to make, but I just wanted to know if the sweet potatoes needed to be cooked prior to being used in the recipe?
Hi Jaqui, Thanks for your comment. No, the sweet potatoes do not need to be cooked before adding to the recipe. Hope you enjoy.
