Method
- Scrub the sweet potatoes and pierce a couple of times with a fork. Put into the microwave and cook for 10-12 mins until soft. If you don’t have a microwave, you can bake the sweet potatoes for 40 mins.
- While the sweet potatoes are cooking, heat the oil in a saucepan or high-sided frying pan. Cook the onion over a high heat for 2-3 mins until it begins to get a bit of colour. Add the curry powder and cook for 1 min.
- Reduce the heat and add the carrot, peppers, rice, chickpeas and frozen spinach and stir well. Pour over the vegetable stock, stirring well, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 12-15 mins until the rice is cooked and liquid has been absorbed.
- Cut the sweet potatoes open and scrape up the flesh with a fork, if using 2 large potatoes put one half onto each plate. Pile on the cheat’s biryani, scatter with spring onion and serve with a dollop of yogurt, if you like.
