6 Reviews of Curried Sweet Potatoes in Coconut Milk

Fabulous! Very fragrant, tender, not too sweet. Simple, yummy way to get my slightly-better-half to eat his vegetables and a great alternative to standard American yam/sweet potato recipes. Good as a side dish for a non-coconut curry (e.g. dhal, chicken). I did make substitutions for ingredients I had on hand - yams for the sweet potatoes, milk for the water, powdered cinnamon for the stick and I eliminated the cumin seed and cardamom steps, opting instead for 1 teaspoon of garam masala and 1/2 teaspoon hot curry powder to "make up for" the removal of these spices.

We really enjoyed these potatoes. I made minor adjustments which I believe did not alter the dish significantly. I fried the cumin seeds in the oil until they became reddish, and proceeded from there. I microwaved the potato cubes until they were barely softened, and did not fry them, just adding the cubes to the completed sauce to finish cooking while the sauce reduced further. My guests asked for the recipe.

Delish!!! I used lite coconut milk but other than that, to to t. Highly recommended. Thanks for posting.

This was so, so delicious! I do wonder, though, if oil should be added to the pan after the cumin seeds are toasted, before the vegetables are added. Also, next time I will probably skip pan-frying the sweet potatoes and see if the results are similar. This is a great recipe, though. Thanks, Mirj!

These were awesome! I didn't have onion and substituted ground ginger for the gingerroot as that was all I had. Absolutely fabulous. My husband loved them. These will be added to my regular rotation. Thanks for sharing!

This was a nice side dish for our Indian dinner tonight. It goes very well with Pineapple Chutney. I used lite coconut milk and didn't really measure my spices, just sprinkled them on with a liberal hand. I did go ahead and use ground cumin - I may have lost out on some flavor, but I'm sure I gained in my husband not commenting on any unexpected textures. Thanks for posting!
