    650g essential Waitrose sweet potatoes
    2 tbsp Cooks’ Ingredients Tikka Curry Paste
    Juice of 1 essential Waitrose lemon
    1 tbsp sunflower oil

    1. Light the barbecue or preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Scrub the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1cm slices. Mix the curry paste, half the lemon juice, sunflower oil and mint together in a large bowl. Stir in the yogurt and season.
