Yam Curry
November 12th, 2004 3 Medium Yams
3 Tablespoons Oil
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Teaspoon Cumin Seeds
1/2 Teaspoon Mustard Seeds
1 Teaspoon Turmeric
1 Teaspoon Ground Coriander
1/2 Teaspoon Cayenne
2 Cups Water
1 Potato
2/3 Cup Cooked Peas
Peel yams and dice as evenly as possible. Heat oil and add spices when warm. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes, then add yams and stir well to coat with oil and spices. Continue for 5-10 minutes so yam cubes are slightly crisp. Add water, lower heat and simmer. Cut up the potato into 1 inch cubes, put the cubes in a pot, cover with water and bring to low boil. Cook both the potatoes and yams for 30 minutes, occasionally stirring the yams until tender. Drain the potatoes and mash. Slowly stir the mashed potatoes into the yams until potatoes are dissolved and curry is at a gravy consistency. Add peas, heat for another 5 minutes and serve.

Hey, even web heads need to eat and this one is a health nut who likes to cook.
To bring the topics together a little I’ve been slowly working on a nutrition/recipe site that uses the USDA nutrient database to show exactly what your eating and help with planning balanced meals.
