Sweet Potato Curry

Here is another Lacey-original for you. This curry would be wonderful over a bed of rice or even with pita bread. Hope you enjoy.







Cut up two small yams into bite size pieces (peeled)
1/2 onion, diced
1/4 cup raisins
1 teaspoon ginger, minced (I used fresh)
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons curry powder (might add more to taste later)
12 oz or 2 plain yogurt containers (the small ones - I used fat free)
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds

1. Place diced yams into a hot pan with olive oil and let cook for awhile (10-15 mins) until half-way cooked (slightly soft)
2. Move yams into a bowl and save for later. Add olive oil to the pan and then add the sumin seeds. Cook in pan until they pop (can also add cardamom pods here and do the same). Then add garlic, ginger, onions and spices.
3. Add yams back into pan with raisins and chicken broth. Let heat up and tehn add the yogurt.
4. Cook until sauce is reduced and the yams are soft.
