Steps
- First roast the sweet potato | Peel the sweet potato and cut it into 2cm cubes | Put it on the baking tray, pour over 2 tablespoons of the oil, toss to coat and sprinkle with salt | Put into the hot oven for 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until soft and charring slightly at the edges | Remove and set aside
- To make the curry sauce, peel the ginger by scraping off the skin with a spoon | Peel the garlic | Grate the ginger and garlic into a bowl and mix with a tablespoon of water | Peel and finely chop the onion | Finely chop the red chilli and tomatoes | Roughly chop the 20g coriander
- Pour 1 tablespoon oil into the medium saucepan and place on a medium-high heat | Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes | Add the ginger garlic paste and fry for 30 seconds | Add all the remaining curry sauce ingredients except for the water and stir | Pour in half the water, stir and simmer for 10 minutes, until browned and almost all the water has evaporated | Pour in the rest of the water, stir then pour everything into the liquidiser | Blend until smooth
- Prepare the rest of the curry ingredients | Separate the leaves from the 15g fresh coriander and chop roughly, then finely chop the stems | Rip the stems from the fresh red chillies and chop finely | Cut the peppers in half, cut out the stems and seeds and chop into chunks
- Splash 1 tablespoon oil into the same saucepan and place on a high heat | Add the chopped coriander stems, chilli and red pepper and fry for 3 minutes, until slightly softened | Pour in the curry sauce and coconut milk | Add the roasted sweet potato and stir | Taste and add more salt and hot chilli powder if you like it hot
- Simmer for 10 minutes, until the sauce is nice and thick | Take off the heat and squeeze in the juice of half a lemon, catching any pips in your other hand | Taste and season to perfection
- Heat the rice or cook it following the instructions on the packet
- Plate up the tikka masala and garnish with the chopped coriander leaves and flaked almonds | Serve immediately
