Method

In a medium bowl, mix together the onion, tomato purée, garlic, ginger and ground spices to create a coarse paste. Heat the oil in a deep saucepan over a medium heat. Once hot, add the paste and the cinnamon stick and cook, stirring regularly, for 3-4 minutes until noticeable drier and just starting to catch on the bottom of the pan.
Add the coconut milk, vegetable stock, bay leaves, lemongrass, tamarind paste, peanut butter, sugar, cashews and 2 tsp salt. Bring to a simmer and cook, bubbling gently, for 10 minutes until the liquid has reduced and thickened slightly.
Add the potatoes then bring back to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Stir in the pineapple, allow to come back to a simmer and cook for 2 more minutes. Serve sprinkled with coriander.
