1 butternut squash

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
15g ( ½ oz) fresh root ginger, finely chopped

2 sticks lemon grass, bruised
2 small red chillies, finely chopped

1.Parboil the sweet potatoes in their skins for about 10 minutes, then
peel and cut into thick slices. Cut the squash into similar-sized
pieces.
2.Season the chicken pieces. Heat some vegetable oil in a large pan and
fry the chicken for about 15 minutes until golden. Remove from the pan
and keep warm. Add the onions to the pan and cook gently until soft,
then add the tomatoes, garlic, ginger, cardamom and curry powder and
cook for a few minutes. Return the chicken to the pan, add the stock and
lemon grass, then cover and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the
chicken is cooked through.
3.Meanwhile, heat a little more vegetable oil in another pan and fry the
pieces of sweet potato and squash over a medium heat for about 10
minutes until slightly golden and crispy on the outside and soft on the
inside. Keep warm.
4.When the chicken is cooked, add the chopped chillies to the pan and
cook for 2 minutes or so. Stir in the yogurt and heat through without
boiling. Sprinkle with chopped coriander and serve with the sautéed
sweet potatoes and squash.
