Potato and sweet potato, sesame seeds

It is vegetarian if you don't count all those deer ticks. 

Kidding. Those are toasted sesame seeds. 

Spicy potato. Not hot spicy, but happy spicy. 

My favorite spices that I think will go with this, into a pot with butter. And onion. And garlic. 

Except I forgot turmeric.

It also has tamarind paste and mango curry.

So lots of happy sweet things, cinnamon, and such along with savory spices all mixed up, a little bit of chile pepper flakes, but not much.   

The spices in the pan with butter or oil to excite the oils within the seeds, mostly seeds, but all the spices have oil of some kind that does become activated with heat, and then it exhausts. So to prevent spice exhaustion the whole business is doused with water once it gets going. Aroma escapes, water captures it. Water that cooks the potatoes. 

The water boils down while cooking the potatoes which get all spicy inside by soaking up the spiced water as they cook and tenderize, and then the spiced water concentrates to a sauce which is assisted in viscosity by the tamarind paste and by the mango curry. Water was added twice and the heat cut back because the process kept racing ahead.
