How to make Peanut & Sweet Potato Stew

  1. Sauté the Onion: Heat the oil in a large saucepan and cook the onion until soft and golden.
  2. Add the Paste & Spices: Stir in Shemin’s Curry Paste and fenugreek (if using). Cook gently for 1 minute.
  3. Add the Main Ingredients: Pour in the coconut milk and water. Add the sweet potato cubes, kidney beans, and peanut butter. Stir well.
  4. Simmer the Stew: Cover the pan and simmer gently for 15–20 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender.
  5. Finish & Serve: Stir in the spinach and cook uncovered for 5 minutes until wilted. Season to taste. Serve hot with fluffy boiled rice.

Tips

Tips:

  • Add a crunch: Top with roasted peanuts or toasted coconut flakes for texture.
  • Change the beans: Swap kidney beans for chickpeas, black beans or butter beans.
  • Make it creamy: For an even richer finish, stir in a spoonful of coconut yoghurt before serving.
  • Serve with: Steamed rice, Shemin’s Indian Breads, or over quinoa for a high-protein twist.
