Put the chillies, shallots, garlic cloves, ginger, lemongrass, paprika, lime zest and juice and 1 tbsp water into a small food processor and blitz to a smooth paste.

Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the sweet potato in a large roasting tin and toss with the oil. Add the curry paste, peppers and lime leaves and roast for 35-40 mins until the potato is tender. Heat the grill to high.
