Sweet Potatoes in an Indian Style

sliced and baked with a cumin-y glaze is what I'm picturing, but I'm open to ideas. need to cut the sweetness with some savoury flavor i think

but mashed up might be good too. i am so hungry.

I'm reheating a baked potato, it's not the same but there's another one in the fridge if you really want it? I was thinking of using cheese and bacon on it.

what part of sweet potatoes in an indian style did you not understand?!

oh ok, put some cheese and bacon on mine too.

Yeah I just related to the "so hungry" part and decided to let you into my culinary world for a second.

nobody has any ideas for this?

anyone know of a good indian cookbook?

I would try a variant on what I often do with sweet potatoes:

Cut into long pieces.
Rub with a seasoning mixture.
Roast in oven for 20 minutes.
Eat with fingers.

My seasoning mixture is typically: olive oil, minced garlic, kosher salt, and ground cayenne. But I think currying spices added to this would be quite terrific.

''anyone know of a good indian cookbook?''

my mum (who has many of those) to thread!

that's so crazy it just might work, paul. unless julio's mom shows up to set us straight.

no she won't. i'll make sure of it!

right then. it's on for tonight. sweet potatoes in an indian/modified paul eater style. will report back tomorrow.

sweet indians in the potatoe style.

just make a sweet potato curry with a light, tomato-based sauce (not creamy). i've actually been served this before and it's wonderful.

Adapted from Madhur Jaffrey (and actually Sri Lankan, but don't tell anyone):

Peel 2 very large sweet potatoes and cut into chunky pieces. Boil with 1/4 tsp turmeric for 5-6 minutes, until they're tender but still firm. Drain.

Put 5 tbsp peanut oil in a large frying pan and set over medium-high heat. Then put in 3 whole dried hot red chiles (broken in halves), and stir once. Then put in 2 whole cardamom pods and a cinnamon stick; stir a couple more times. Put in 20 fresh curry leaves. Stir once. Put in 3 good-sized onions cut into very fine half rings. Stir and cook until they're lightly browned. Add the sweet potatoes; stir and fry for 5 minutes. Put in a couple of teaspoons of crushed dried red chiles, a bit more than a teaspoon of salt, and a tablespoon and a half of lime juice. Stir and cook until the sweet potatoes are tender enough for you.
