Cooking Steps
a) Preheat your oven to 220°C. Chop the sweet potatoes into 1cm chunks (no need to peel!). b) Pop the potatoes on a low sided wide baking tray. c) Drizzle with oil, then season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat then spread out in a single layer. d) Once your oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 18-20 mins. Turn halfway through cooking. e) Tip: Use two baking trays if necessary, you want the potatoes nicely spread out.
a) Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. b) Once hot, add the diced chicken thighs, season with salt and pepper and stir-fry until browned, 3-4 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink in the middle.
a) While the chicken cooks, halve, peel and thinly slice the shallot. b) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). c) Thinly slice half the chilli and finely chop the rest. d) Zest and halve the lime.
a) Once the chicken is browned, add the shallot to the pan and fry together with the chicken until starting to soften, 3-4 mins. b) Stir in the garlic, ginger puree, finely chopped chilli (careful it's hot! Add less if you don't like heat) and tomato puree. Cook for 1 minute. c) Pour in the coconut milk, water (see ingredients for amount) and chicken stock powder.
a) Bring to the boil and simmer until the sauce has reduced slightly and the flavours have developed, 3-4 mins. b) Then stir in the spinach a handful at a time until it's wilted and everything is piping hot, 1-2 mins. c) Remove from the heat, squeeze in some of the lime juice and add half the soy sauce. d) Taste and add more lime juice and soy sauce if you feel it needs it. e) Stir in the roasted sweet potato.
a) Serve in bowls with the sliced chilli (Careful it's hot! Add less if you don't like heat) and lime zest sprinkled on top. b) Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: A real crowd-pleaser with bold, well-balanced flavours — the coconut milk, ginger, lime, and chilli combine into a rich, warming sauce that many reviewers describe as a firm favourite.
- Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to put together, with several reviewers noting it comes together easily on a weeknight.
- Suggestions: Reduce the water slightly if you prefer a thicker consistency, and hold back on the soy sauce or stock if you are sensitive to salt — some found the dish quite salty as written. Consider using less chilli if you prefer a milder heat.
- Next-day meals: Portions are widely noted as small for two people; adding rice, naan, couscous, or crusty bread is a popular way to bulk it out and make it more filling.
- Texture: Adding chickpeas, extra spinach, or additional vegetables such as broccoli or peppers helps give the stew more body and substance.
