SPICY YAM CURRY



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.

Categories     Curries

Time 45m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons mustard oil or 2 tablespoons ghee
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (add as much as you want)
14 ounces suran yams, cut into cubes
14 1/2 ounces diced tomatoes with juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 -2 tablespoon mild curry powder (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon tamarind paste
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (coriander leaf)

Steps:

  • Heat mustard oil or ghee in a large saucepan and add cumin seed.
  • Cook 30 seconds or until fragrant, but do not burn.
  • Add chopped onion, garlic, and cayenne pepper, cooking for several minutes or until onions begin to soften.
  • Stir in diced yam, diced tomatoes, salt, and curry powder.
  • Mix tamarind paste with warm water and add to pan.
  • Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until yam is tender, adding water if necessary to keep from sticking.
  • Stir in thawed peas and cook for 1-2 minutes more, or until peas are tender.
  • Serve garnished with chopped cilantro, with freshly steamed basmati rice (optional).

Tips:

  • Choose the right tofu: For this recipe, use extra firm or firm tofu. These types of tofu hold their shape better in the curry and absorb the flavors better.
  • Press the tofu: Pressing the tofu helps remove excess moisture, resulting in a firmer texture and allowing it to absorb the marinade better. To press the tofu, wrap it in a few layers of paper towels and place it on a plate. Put another plate on top and weigh it down with something heavy, such as a can of beans or a heavy skillet. Let it press for at least 30 minutes.
  • Marinate the tofu: Marinating the tofu adds flavor and helps it to better absorb the spices in the curry. You can use a simple marinade made with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and garlic, or you can get creative and use a more flavorful marinade, such as one made with coconut milk, curry paste, and ginger.
  • Cook the tofu properly: To prevent the tofu from crumbling, cook it over medium heat and stir it gently. Do not overcook the tofu, as it will become tough and rubbery.
  • Add vegetables: Feel free to add your favorite vegetables to the curry, such as potatoes, carrots, peas, or green beans. This will make the curry more nutritious and filling.
  • Adjust the spiciness: If you like your curry spicy, add more curry paste or red chili peppers. If you prefer a milder curry, use less curry paste or omit the chili peppers altogether.

Conclusion:

Tofu yam curry is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover tofu, and it is also a good source of protein and vegetables. With its creamy texture and flavorful sauce, tofu yam curry is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
