Heat the oil in a large pan and add the onions, chillies and garlic.
Cook over a medium heat, stirring frequently, until the onions are cooked.
Add the spices and cook over a low heat stirring for 1-2 minutes.
Add the beans in their liquid, the stock and bay leaves. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the peppers and sweet potato and cook gently, uncovered and stirring occasionally, for 35 minutes or until the sweet potato is cooked.
In the meantime, make the salsa.
Char the corn cobs then slice off the kernels.
Mix all the salsa ingredients in a bowl until combined.
