I kept wondering about the curry powder preparation. Nowhere it is mentioned that it needs to be made into a powder except as the name suggests. Also, could not find, how much is a cupful. As we don''t eat very spicy food, couldn''t make it so spicy. I had never cooked anything with yam before. Hence, it was surely helpful to have a recipe in hand. But surely not a recipe to wait for or look forward to.
