Ingredients

450g Sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

1/4 Teaspoon ground cumin (I added 1 teaspoon)
1/4 Teaspoon ground coriander (I added 1 Teaspoon)
1/4 Teaspoon ground allspice
2 Tablespoons coconut cream (I added 200ml and cut back on the water)

Method

1. In a large saucepan, mix together the sweet potatoes, onion, garlic, ginger, chilli pepper, spices, coconut cream and water.

2. Bring to the boil and simmer until the potato is almost tender.

3. Add the prawns, chicory and chinese leaves. Simmer for 4 – 5 minutes, until the ingredients are warmed through, but the leaves are still crisp.
