Whites & Sweets with Peas

Fault me for being one of those people who would much rather help myself to a savory second helping than to a sweet one. So it took me a few years to learn to love sweet potatoes—until my mother fried them and tossed them with cayenne pepper and pounded rock salt. Then I became an addict. No wonder this curry calls to me: it’s sweet, hot, and nutty. Ladle it into bowls and serve it alongside multi-lentil pancakes.
