• Heat the oil in a large pan and cook the onion for 5 minutes or until beginning to soften. Add the garlic, chilli and spices, and cook for 2 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes and stir so they’re coated in the oil. Tip in the tins of tomatoes, then fill each can a third full with water, swill them around and tip it into the pan. Stir in the tomato purée.
• Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, uncovered, until the sweet potato is close to tender and the sauce is thickened. Stir frequently and, if it starts to catch, add a splash of water.
• Pick out the star anise and discard, then add the beans, peppers and sugar. Stir in and cook for 5 minutes. Taste and season, then serve with tortillas and all the trimmings.
