Introduce the dish: sweet potato and coconut curry.

Show the ingredients needed for the recipe.

Use 400 ml of coconut milk, one onion, fresh chili to taste, and one tablespoon of garlic ginger paste.

Add a teaspoon each of cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili, and green cardamom powder.

Include a couple of teaspoons of cumin seeds, black mustard seeds, and a little bit of dried red chili.

Mention bell peppers as optional for color.

Explain that sweet potatoes should be cut just before use to prevent discoloration.

Start by heating sunflower oil in a pan.

Add the whole spices (cumin seeds, black mustard seeds, dried red chili) to the oil and let them infuse for a few seconds.

Add chopped onion and sauté for three to four minutes on medium heat.

Cut the sweet potato into desired shapes and add it to the pan after the onion has cooked.

Add the garlic ginger paste and mix well.

Add fresh chili (left whole) and salt to the mixture.

Add optional bell peppers for color.

Stir in the five spices: cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili, and green cardamom powder.

Add a small amount of water to the pan and cook for another four minutes, stirring occasionally.

Pour in the coconut milk and cook for about six minutes until the sweet potatoes are tender and the coconut milk thickens.

Check the doneness of the sweet potatoes with a knife; if it falls off easily, they are ready.

Add a pinch of garam masala powder and stir it in after turning off the heat.

Plate the curry and serve with rice or roti.
