Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp korma paste
- 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
- 400g tin coconut milk
- 400g tin pineapple chunks
- Water as needed
- Fresh coriander, chopped (for garnish)
- Naan bread (to serve)
Instructions
- Prepare the sweet potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into large chunks to ensure they cook evenly and hold their shape during simmering.
- Cook korma paste and sweet potatoes: Heat 2 tablespoons of korma paste in a large pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the sweet potato chunks and toss them in the heated paste for a couple of minutes to coat well and release the spices.
- Add liquids and simmer: Pour in the entire 400g tin of coconut milk along with enough water to cover the sweet potatoes. Stir well and bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Add pineapple chunks and finish cooking: Drain the pineapple chunks from the tin and add them to the pan. Let them simmer with the sweet potatoes and sauce for 2 minutes to warm through and meld the flavors together.
- Season and garnish: Taste the korma and season with salt as needed. Scatter chopped fresh coriander over the dish for a fresh, herbal contrast.
- Serve: Serve the sweet potato and pineapple korma hot alongside warm naan bread to soak up the creamy sauce.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of water to control the sauce thickness.
- Adding a handful of roasted cashews on top can provide extra texture and nuttiness.
- For a spicier dish, increase the korma paste or add fresh chopped chili.
- This korma can also be served with rice if naan is unavailable.
