Directions

Description - Step 1

Step 1: Cook the chilli base

Add oil to a large pot and heat over medium-high heat. Now, add the sweet potatoes and onion and cook for about four minutes, until the onion begins to soften. Now, add the garlic, chilli powder, cumin, smoked paprika, ground pepper, and salt, and cook for 2 minutes. Constantly stir for 30 seconds before adding water. Bring the mix to a simmer. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low-medium to maintain a gentle simmer, and cook for 10-12 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender.
