Indian-Spiced Sweet Potato with Tomato & Cream (Slow Cooker)
You can easily double or triple this recipe and freeze portions for all those curry-in-a-hurry requirements down the track. It is nothing short of wondrous served with piping hot naan, some steamed rice and some quick sautéed spinach. I even recommend blitzing the dregs, the leftover sauce and broken-down bits of pumpkin in a blender and enjoying it as a glorious soup.
