- Warm the coconut oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat on the hob. Add the onion and lightly fry for a few minutes until softened.
- Next, add the garlic and ginger and cook for a further minute, stirring constantly.
- Stir in the spices (turmeric, garam masala, cumin, ground coriander and chilli) and cook for a further minute.
- Add the carrot and sweet potato and stir, ensuring that they are covered in the spice mixture.
- Add the coconut milk and simmer over a medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring regularly, before adding the desiccated coconut & ground almonds. Season with salt & pepper. Stir and simmer for a further 5- 10 minutes until the vegetables are cooked through.
Sprinkle with the flaked almonds to serve and enjoy with quinoa or boiled basmati rice.
