    Could someone please put up a recipe for Madras curry paste? I have loads of spices but I don't buy ready made pastes as we have allergies in the family so I avoid prepared foods as much as possible so that I control what's going in. In other recipes there are instructions to whizz up a selection of spices, onions, garlic and tomato but I don't know how strong this would be teamed with different core ingredients. I've noticed vegetarian indian food can be a lot hotter than the meat varieties due to different take up of spices. Thanks

    I found this really good, tasted fine especially for my first time of cooking sweet potato and my husband loved it. I have made buying sweet potato part of my weekly shopping so will be making it very often

    Yes, it does need boiling down to make the sauce a bit thicker but the sweet potato could do with the extra time cooking so it's all good! Also a very good meal to do when camping as it only requires one gas ring. Not a very expensive meal either, I make it about £2.10 per person! Definitely worth trying. =]

    I added the chickpeas as suggested. It was absolutely delicious. The only problem was the high salt content in the ready made curry paste so I couldn't serve it to our young son. I'll have to try making my own curry paste.

    Lovely! Sweet potatoes needed a wee bit longer to cook than suggested, well worth the wait for them to become tender though and it gives the sauce more time to thicken. Delish!
