Method
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion and ginger, cover and cook for 8-10 mins, stirring occasionally, until softened. Stir in the garlic, curry powder and turmeric and cook for 1-2 mins until fragrant. Add the pepper, sweet potatoes and 600ml water. Bring to the boil, cover, then simmer for 15-20 mins, stirring occasionally until the sweet potatoes start to break down into the sauce. Blitz with a stick blender until smooth.
- Stir the chicken into the sauce, cover and simmer over a medium heat for 10-12 mins, stirring occasionally, until tender and cooked through. Swirl the yogurt through the sauce.
- Meanwhile, cook the rice according to packet instructions.
- Divide the rice among 4 plates and top with the chicken curry. Scatter with coriander, if using, to serve.
