This is a fab curry, which even the most hardened of meat eaters don’t seem to mind the lack of animal flesh. There is no need for any rice as there is sweet potato in it, and the cashews give plenty of protein.
You can substitute the cashews for chicken. Use 250g chicken breast chopped into bit sized pieces. Add the chicken after the sweet potatoes have had their initial 5 minutes cooking time.
