| 1. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1 inch cubes. | 2. Place the cubes in a colander and sprinkle liberally with salt. | 3. Let stand 10-15 minutes. | 4. Steam the potatoes for 10 minutes, until just barely soft. (I do this in the microwave for about 5 minutes). | 5. Meanwhile, finely chop the onion, ginger and garlic. | 6. Heat the cooking pan over a moderate flame, add the cumin seed, and cook until they begin to splutter. | 7. Add the chopped onion, ginger, and garlic. | 8. Cook until the onion is a rich golden color. | 9. Add all the spices and season with salt to taste. | 10. Let this cook while you continue with the sweet potatoes (yes, there's more to do with them). | 11. Heat the oil and sauté the already steamed sweet potato cubes until golden brown. | 12. Drain on absorbent paper towels. (I skip this step, just more calories.). | 13. Pour the coconut milk and water into the pot and bring to a healthy simmer. Let it boil, roil and bubble for a few minutes, then add the yam cubes and onion spice mixture, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, for about 10 minutes or until nearly dry, but still moist. | 14. When it's done, transfer to a serving platter. Pick out the bits you don't want (like the bay leaf). I leave in the cinnamon stick, my kids like to fight over it, and I like to watch. | 15. Serve hot, garnished with the chopped coriander sprinkled on top. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
