Here's my curry recipe (all seasonings can be adjusted to taste):

1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into chunks
1 medium onion, cut into chunks
1 tsp curry powder
1 pinch of hot pepper flakes
Water or vegetable broth
1 Heaping tbs of cornstarch mixed with a little cold water to form a thin paste

"Saute" the onions in a wok or large frying pan until soft.  Add the sweet
potato and seasonings.  Stir until the curry powder forms a paste on the
vegetables, adding more liquid if necessary.  Add enough liquid to _almost_
cover the sweet potato and bring to a boil.  Reduce the heat, cover and simmer
for about 15 minutes or until the sweet potato is tender.  Thicken with the
cornstarch paste.  Enjoy.

Fry in a oiled pan on both sides till brown spots appear and crispy. Crush by pressing it together with both hands and serve immediately.

The bread can be eaten on its own with a sprinkle of sugar, or with any meat or vegetable curry.

Egg Plants - cubed and boiled
