Spicy Yam Curry image

The yam in this (suran), is related to the sweet potato. However, that being said, do not look for a marshmallow topped, brown sugar filled concoction. This is definitely all curry, and is a bit spicy as well. Eat as a vegetarian main dish, or as a side dish to other recipes. If you cannot find suran, just substitute sweet potato or white potatoes. I am sure they would work well.

The yams were a bit too soft for my liking, but the curry sauce was delicious.

This curry is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by adding some yogurt.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my curry turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat yams. My kids loved the curry sauce and they ate all of their yams.
