4 tbsp peanut butter (13pts)

Heat oil, fry onion, cayenne pepper, ginger and garlic for 5 mins, stirring occasionally until beginning to soften.

Add curry paste and fry for 1 min, stirring.  Add potato & mushrooms, stirring to combine.

Add passata & stock, bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 15-20 mins until the veg are  tender.

Add spinach and stir in until just wilted.

Take a couple of spoons of liquid from the pan and mix with the peanut butter to soften, then add this to the pan with the coriander.  Heat for 1 min or so.

Serve.

The peanut butter does crank up the points a bit, but it really does give a lovely richness to the dish.  Great the next day as well.

Reduce the points slightly by using spray oil & curry powder
