Amazing flavor and color! ~Tasty Dish~ approved! I love the addition of brown sugar and shallots! I didn't have a chance to take a picture of the dish, but next time I will. I used my own recipe for roasted curry powder, the substitution of coconut milk for the half and half, and orange fleshed "yams". Great alternate side dish in place of potatoes, pasta or rice. Thank you! Reviewed for ZWT 2009.

Made this for dinner last night and did actually use sweet potatoes instead of yams. Wonderful flavors. I actually subtituted the half-and-half with fat free milk (because that's what I had) and they were still moist. A also left mine with some chunks in the potatoes for added texture. Served with Caramelized Leeks with Roasted Salmon Filets (also from CL).

I LOVE to cook and bake nearly everything!
I HATE to see people join the site, have no published recipes, but rag on another cook in a review on a recipe they haven't even tried or didn't follow.
Oh, and I hate cilantro, too. :)
