Yam Curry
1 lb Tender yams
1 To 2 Tbsp salt
3 cup Vegetable oil for deep
Frying
2 In fresh ginger root
1 Garlic clove
2 To 3 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp Cumin seeds
2 Green cardamoms
1 Bay leaf
4 Peppercorns
1 Inch stick cinnamon
1 tsp Turmeric
1/2 tsp Chili powder (or use cayenne
Pepper)
1 tsp Ground coriander
1/2 tsp Garam masala (optional)
To taste salt
4 oz Fresh tomatoes (or use 8 oz
Canned tomatoes)
4 tbsp Yogurt
1 1/2 Cups water
1 tbsp Chopped coriander leaves
(cilantro)
The yams in this dish are cooked in a sauce very much like that
traditionally used for meat. Serve with chapatis and rice. The
recipe is derived from one in The Hamlyn Curry Cookbook, by Meera
Taneja, which I recommend highly.
(1) Peel the yams, cut them into 1 inch cubes, place in a colander
and sprinkle liberally with salt. Let stand 10-15 minutes, then dry
on paper towels.
(2) Meanwhile, finely chop the onion, ginger, and garlic, and
roughly chop the tomatoes. Heat the il over a moderate flame, add the
cumin seed, and cook until they begin to splutter. Add the chopped
onion, ginger, and garlic. Cook until the onion is a rich golden
color. Add all the spices and season with salt to taste. Cook a few
seconds more, and then add the tomatoes. Let this cook while you
continue as below.
(3) Heat the oil for deep frying to 350 deg. F and cook the yam
cubes, a few at a time, until golden brown. Drain on absorbent
kitchen paper. Set aside.
(4) Add the yogurt to the tomato mixture, and continue to cook until
the oil begins to separate out. Add the water and bring to a boil.
Let boil a few minutes, then add the yam cubes, reduce heat, and
simmer, covered, for about 25 minutes.
(5) Serve hot, garnished with the chopped coriander.
Difficulty: easy to moderate. Time: 1 hour preparation, 30 minutes
cooking. Precision: measure the ingredients.

Advice on losing weight
If you really want to shed a few pounds and also better your all round healthfulness, then you really should commence a specially planned sensible diet. Theoretically, this needs to contain five standard portions of grains, fruit and vegetables daily and also require an appropriate blend of carbohydrate, fats, and proteins.
In planning a weight loss program, the important thing is to attempt to regulate your intake of salt, fat and refined carbohydrate.
People starting a weight loss program most certainly concentrate on supermarket and brand name food products described as 'low-fat'. This is often wrong, as a food item could be moderate in fats, but whilst still being elavated in calories.
Drink plenty of water. Occasionally during a busy morning, you fancy that you need food when in reality you may simply want a pure cup of water or cranberry juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are close, albeit one ends in weight increase and the other one leads to no harm.
As an alternative to focusing on the foods you ought to leave out of your dietary regime, focus on the healthy foods that you are able to bring into your dietary regime. If one can inject some beneficial fruit & vegetables into your weight loss program, you will discover that you feel more satisfied and have a substantially reduced risk of falling prey to those detrimental mid-afternoon sweets and chocolate bars.
