• 2 medium-sized (about 400 grams) Yam
• 1 medium-sized (about 600 grams) Breadfruit
• 1 can (400 mL) Coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons Curry powder
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
• 1 large Yellow onion, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 cups Water
• 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 4 Lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cube the taro root, yam, and breadfruit into 1-inch pieces. Rinse under cold water and set aside.

Step 2

In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the onions. Sauté for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, and ground cumin. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices, ensuring they do not burn.

Step 5

Pour in the coconut milk and water, stirring to combine the sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Add the cubed taro, yam, and breadfruit to the sauce. Stir to coat the pieces evenly with the curry mixture.

Step 7

Cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 8

Season the curry with salt and stir gently to combine.

Step 9

Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.

Step 10

Serve the Curried Taro Yam Breadfruit hot with lime wedges on the side for added zest. It pairs beautifully with steamed rice or flatbreads.
