- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 2 garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin

- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 cups water
- 1 1/4 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 3 large Granny Smith apples – peeled, cored and sliced
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until tender.
- Add the ginger, curry powder, cumin, salt, and cinnamon. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the water, sweet potatoes, and apples and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer, stirring often, for 20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are very tender.
