How to make a stew?
Place the onion, sweet potato and garlic in a pot over medium heat. Heat for 3-5 minutes until onions are soft. If the vegetables tend to stick to the bottom, add a little more water.
Then add zucchini, ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, chilli flakes, tomatoes, tomato paste and hot water. Mix thoroughly. Cover the pot with a lid, lower the heat and simmer for another 10 minutes.
Remove the lid and simmer for a further 10 minutes, until the sweet potato is soft and the stew has thickened. When serving, sprinkle with fresh coriander.
