2 inch piece of ginger, peeled and finely chopped into little matchsticks.
3 tablespoons of thai red curry paste (I sometimes make my own – see my aubergine curry recipe here but for this I used shop bought Thai Taste red curry paste)

Stir in the garlic, ginger, curry paste, peanut butter, coconut milk and water.
Add the sweet potatoes and bring to the boil.
Turn down the heat and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are soft and the sauce has reduced and thickened.
