2 cups sweet potatoes (cubed )
1 cup onions (chopped finely)
1 cup tomatoes (red ripe , chopped or pureed)
1 green chili (slit )
1 tsp ginger (grated or ginger paste)
1 sprig curry leaves ((optional))
1 to 1 ½ tsp Coriander powder ((optional))
½ to 1 tsp garam masala (or any curry powder as desired)
½ tsp red chili powder
1/8 tsp turmeric
Salt ( as needed)
2 tbsps Oil ( as needed)
¼ tsp mustard ((optional))
½ tsp cumin
1 Pinch hing (or asafoetida (optional))

Steps:

If you do not have coriander powder, add 2 tsps. Coriander seeds and then garam masala powder and red chili powder to a dry blender jar and powder together. That helps to make a fine powder.
Heat oil in a pan, add cumin, mustard, and allow them to splutter. Add hing, ginger and then the curry leaves. Fry together till you smell the ginger good. Do not burn.
Add onions, & green chilies. Fry till they turn golden.
Next add tomatoes and sprinkle salt, turmeric. Saute for 2 mins
On a low flame cover and cook till the tomatoes turn soft and mushy. The onion tomato mixture should blend well.
While the tomatoes cook, you can peel and cube the sweet potatoes, add them to water till we use.
Add chili powder, garam masala, coriander powder and red chili powder. Fry for about 1 to 2 minutes without burning.
Next add sweet potato cubes, pour the same water we used to keep them. Just use enough water to immerse the sweet potatoes.
Cook on a low flame, till they are soft cooked. You can adjust salt and spice at this stage.
Keep covered for about 15 minutes for the flavors to absorb well by the sweet potato curry. Garnish with coriander leaves.

Ingredients

4 potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 ½ teaspoons cayenne pepper
4 teaspoons curry powder
4 teaspoons garam masala
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger root, peeled and minced
2 teaspoons salt

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh, firm yams. Avoid yams that are bruised or have soft spots.
Cut the yams into 1-inch cubes for even cooking. If the yams are too large, they will take longer to cook and may not cook evenly.
Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the yams. If the pan is too crowded, the yams will steam instead of fry and will not get crispy.
Season the yams with your favorite spices. Some popular spices for yam curry include cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili powder.
Add vegetables to the curry for extra flavor and nutrition. Some good choices include onions, garlic, tomatoes, and bell peppers.
Garnish the curry with fresh cilantro or parsley before serving.

Conclusion:

Spicy yam curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The yams are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the curry sauce is flavorful and creamy. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
