Sweet Potato with Toasted Coconut

Ingredients for Sweet Potato with Toasted Coconut

• 3 medium sweet potatoes (800g total), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 1200ml )

• 475ml water, divided

• 1/4 teaspoons ground turmeric

• 1/8 teaspoons cayenne pepper

• Sal

• 45g grated dried unsweetened coconut

• 45g canned kidney beans, rinsed and drained

• 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic

• 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

• 1 small fresh green chilli, such as serrano, Thai, or jalapeño, slit lengthwise with stem end intact

• 2 colheres de sopa de óleo vegetal

• 1/2 teaspoons brown mustard seeds

• 1/8 teaspoons hot red pepper flakes

• 10 fresh curry leaves (optional)

Bring sweet potatoes and 350ml water to a boil with turmeric, cayenne, and 1 teaspoon salt in a 3-quart saucepan, then simmer, covered, until tender, 8 to 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, toast coconut in a small heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until very toasted (pale reddish-brown all over; be careful not to burn). Transfer to a plate.

Break sweet potatoes up with the back of a spoon so that some chunks remain. Add toasted coconut, beans, garlic, cumin, chilli, and remaining 120ml water and simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. If mixture becomes too thick and begins to stick to bottom of saucepan, add more water.

Heat oil in cleaned small heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add mustard seeds, and cook until seeds begin to pop and/or turn gray. Add red pepper flakes and curry leaves (if using), covering skillet immediately and cooking just long enough for leaves to crackle. Stir spice mixture into sweet potato mixture (it will be very thick and chunky). Season with salt.
