Indian Sweet Potato Tart

This Indian Tart leans on garam masala to do the heavy lifting. We steam the Sweet Potato for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.

Method

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the garam masala elements, and pat the sweet potato dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add the sweet potatoes and steam until it takes on colour and the edges catch, 4 to 6 minutes.

Stir in the tinned coconut milk and the rest of the garam masala flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the leek along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.

Finish with the topping and serve while hot.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
