I didn’t realize that Steemit Iron Chef is already on and running and I almost missed the first week.
Luckily the theme is tomatoes which I always keep in my refrigerator; however, I wasn’t sure what else I have to make something easy, but super tasty. After looking around my pantry I was able to gather just enough for Indian Food...........yeaaaaaaaah, my favorite that saves the day every time. The only thing I didn’t have was cilantro, so I had to make a quick trip to a supermarket.
Although I usually use butter nut squash to make this type of sauce, the sweet potato worked very well and I hope you will like it.
