Ingredients
  

  • 1 Large Sweet Potato
  • 1 Medium Yellow Onion
  • 1 Can Coconut Milk
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Muchi Curry
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Fresh Ground Black Pepper
  • a Pinch of Cardamom
  • 2-3 Tablespoons All Purpose Flour
  • 2 Tabslepoons Olive Oil

Instructions
 

  • Bake your potato in the microwave for 2-4 minutes.  You don't want it to be mushy, just soft enough to easily dice. Peel and dice potato and set aside.
  • Slice onions.
  • Saute onions in olive oil over medium heat until soft and just starting to brown.
  • Add sweet potatoes and spices (salt, curry, cardamom, black pepper)
  • Add flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it is incorporated.  For a thicker gravy you can use slightly more flour, for a thinner gravy, slightly less.
  • Slowly add in the coconut milk, stirring continuously with each add.  I like to add about 3 tablespoons worth of coconut milk at a time, stir several times, then add more coconut milk.  
  • Once all the coconut milk has been added, serve immediately over warm biscuits, eggs, or grits.
