Spiced sweet potatoes

4 sweet potatoes
50g (2oz) butter
1 heaped tsp cumin seeds
A good pinch of ground coriander
¼tsp crushed chilies

Scrub and halve the sweet potatoes lengthways and season the flesh well.

Cut thick foil into 4 large sheets and place two potato halves on each one. Combine the butter with the remaining ingredients and spread over the cut side of each potato.

Sandwich the potato halves together and tightly wrap in the foil.

Cook around the outside of the embers (the heat in the middle is too ferocious), turning occasionally until tender and lightly charred. This should take around 45 minutes.
