Add the coconut milk and the tinned tomatoes. Simmer for 20 minutes with the lid on, stirring every now and again.

Turn off the heat, add the maple syrup and salt. Scoop the nuts on to a plate for serving later.
Pull the chard leaves off the stems, tear the leaves into large bite-sized pieces and finely chop the
stalks. Once the curry has had 20 minutes, add the chard and the stalks, and cook for a final 10 minutes, until the potatoes are cooked through.
Serve the curry with warm bread and rice, and top with crunchy cashews and a good squeeze of lemon.
