Method:

1. Chop the onion into small dice, and chop the garlic up finely.

2. Add the onion to a large pan with the olive oil and sauté for seven to eight minutes on a low heat. Add in the spices, garlic and fry for a further few minutes.

3. Next add the sweet potato, veg stock, coconut milk, tomato purée to the pan and simmer for 15 minutes covered – until the sweet potato is soft. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Turn off the heat and then blitz using a hand blender, until smooth and creamy.

5. Add more water if you’d like it thinner. Top with the toasted seeds, plant-based yoghurt, and chilli flakes if using.
