Direction

    1. Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 6. Toss the sweet potatoes and onion together in a 30cm x 20cm roasting tin. Add the oil, lemongrass, chilli, cumin and coriander, and toss everything together along with some seasoning. Roast for 20-25 mins or until the sweet potatoes are lightly golden and just starting to become tender.
    2. Stir in the coconut milk, 100-150ml of water, the kale and chickpeas, and mix well. Return the tray to the oven and cook for another 15-20 mins or until the curry has thickened slightly and is bubbling. Season with the soy or fish sauce, the lime juice and some salt, if needed.
    3. Serve the curry directly from the tray, topped with the coconut flakes, onion, chilli and coriander leaves, with cooked rice or noodles.
