I really enjoyed this! I have to admit, I was a little generous with the sweet potatoe and the curry, but only because one potatoe was more than 1 cup, and I wanted to use the whole potatoe, plus I thought it needed more curry after tasting. I think I only added 1/2 - 1 tsp. curry, but the sweet potatoe was about double. In any case, it was GREAT! I'm not a big lamb lover, and this dish really eliminated that gamey flavor that I dislike.
