Sri Lankan cuisine is having a bit of a moment right now, and it’s not hard to see why. It’s somewhat feistier than its Indian counterpart, and incredibly vibrant. We’ve paired this sweet potato curry with brown rice, so it's wonderfully nutty and good for you to boot.

Rinse the brown rice well. Bring the rice and 3 cups of water to the boil in a medium saucepan over a high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, covered, for 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is soft. Drain and return to the saucepan. Cover with a lid to keep warm.
While the rice is cooking, roughly chop the brown onion. Finely grate the garlic. Finely grate the ginger (unpeeled). Chop the sweet potato (unpeeled) into 1 cm cubes.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the brown onion and cook for 4 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic and the ginger and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add the mild curry powder, the chilli flakes (if using), the sweet potato, the coconut cream and 1/2 cup of water. Cover with a lid, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the sweet potato is easily pierced with a knife.
While the curry is cooking, roughly chop the baby bok choy and the Asian greens. In the last 2 minutes of curry cooking time, add the greens and cook until wilted.
Slice the lime into wedges and roughly chop the coriander leaves (reserve a few to garnish). When the curry has finished cooking, squeeze over lime juice to taste and stir through the coriander. Season to taste with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Divide the brown rice between bowls and top with the sweet potato curry. Sprinkle over the roasted cashews and garnish with the reserved coriander leaves.
