In a medium saucepan of boiling water, cook the yams until tender, about 4

Add the red onions, salt, potatoes, yams, minced fennel, herbs, and turmeric.

Saute for 5 to 7 minutes.

 

Add the orange juice and lemon or lime juice. Cover, reduce heat to medium low,

and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.

 

Add the cayenne and bell peppers, then the cashews. Cover and simmer briefly,

about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in the yogurt. Serve with basmati

rice. Serves 8 to 10

 

Description:

" The slightly nutty flavor of basmati rice is perfect with this hearty

curry, which combines yams, red onions, potatoes, red peppers, and

cashews, and is rich in mood-soothing potassium. "
