CURRY OF SWEET POTATO AND ONION

Not quite Indian, not quite Pakistani - kind of in the middle of the conflict zone really. I'll tell you what I did and then you can decide what cuisine it belongs to. Onions were sautéed in corn oil with dried chillies until deep brown, then removed and set aside. Then cumin seeds were also sautéed briefly and removed. Slices of sweet potato were added to the pan, along with turmeric and cayenne. The pan was covered and the sweet potato cooked for about 10 minutes. I then added grated tomatoes and salt and cooked another 5 minutes. Finally, the onion and cumin seeds were stirred through and heated. Borderline Indian? Borderline Pakistani?
