Fry the onion in a spray of oil for 5 minutes, then add the curry paste, chilli, sweet potato and allspice and fry for another 5 minutes. Add the coconut milk, stock and thyme, and cook for 20 minutes until the potato is cooked through. When the potato is soft, mash some pieces with the back of a fork to make a thicker sauce. Stir in the prawns, simmer until pink, scatter with coriander and serve with roti.
