Yam Curry

Ingredients

Directions

The yams in this dish are cooked in a sauce very much like that traditionally used for meat.

Serve with chapatis and rice.

(1) Peel the yams, cut them into 1 inch cubes, place in a colander and sprinkle liberally with salt.

Let stand 10-15 minutes, then dry on paper towels.

(2) Meanwhile, finely chop the onion, ginger, and garlic, and roughly chop the tomatoes.

Heat the il over a moderate flame, add the cumin seed, and cook until they begin to sputter.

Add the chopped onion, ginger, and garlic.

Cook until the onion is a rich golden color. Add all the spices and season with salt to taste.

Cook a few seconds more, and then add the tomatoes.

Let this cook while you continue as below.

(3) Heat the oil for deep frying to 350 F and cook the yam cubes, a few at a time, until golden brown.

Drain on absorbent kitchen paper.

Set aside.

(4) Add the yogurt to the tomato mixture, and continue to cook until the oil begins to separate out.

Add the water and bring to a boil. Let boil a few minutes, then add the yam cubes, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, for about 25 minutes.

(5) Serve hot, garnished with the chopped coriander.

Reviews

Outstanding. Well worth the effort to make the curry paste from scratch. Leaps and bounds better than simply using curry powder. Have made this a number of times for guests and every time it wows the crowd. 8 months ago by sean
