  • Cooking Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

Servings: 10 children
  • 4 tbsp
    oil
  • 3
    onions finely chopped
  • 30 grams
    fresh ginger peeled and grated
  • 5 large cloves
    garlic peeled and crushed
  • 3 tbsp
    mild curry powder
  • 2 tsp
    ground cinnamon
  • 100 ml
    water
  • 600 ml
    coconut milk
  • 600 ml
    vegetable stock
  • 1 tsp
    salt
  • 750 grams
    sweet potato peeled & cut into 2cm²
  • 500 grams
    chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 250 grams
    cooked green beans

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil and cook the onions for a few minutes until soft.

  2. Add the ginger, garlic, spices and water and cook for a further 2 minutes, stirring.

  3. Add the coconut milk and veg stock and bring to a simmer.

  4. Add the salt, sweet potato and chickpeas.

  5. Cook for 10 minutes – or until the sweet potato is just cooked through.

  6. Add the cooked green beans and heat through.

Notes

Top tip: Cook the green beans in plenty of boiling water until they are slightly undercooked (they will cook further when reheated). Immediately drain and plunge into iced water with the cold tap running until the beans are completely cold. This helps them stay bright green and avoids overcooking with residual heat.
