1. Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes or until the onion is soft.

2. Stir in the curry powder, ginger, coriander, chilli powder, tomato puree, sweet potatoes, carrot and mushrooms. Add enough stock to cover the vegetables and bring to the boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the peanuts and taste the seasoning and adjust if necessary.

3. Meanwhile, cook the rice according to the packet instructions.

4. To serve, simply spoon the sweet potato stew over the cooked rice.

Hint: If using salted peanuts, rinse them first as this dish will be salty enough due to the stock.
