Sweet Indian-Spiced Sweet Potatoes

Another simple and delightful recipe adapted from The 30-Minute Vegan's Taste of the East: 150 Asian-Inspired Recipes--from Soba Noodles to Summer Rolls. The actual recipe is called Tamarind Sweet Potatoes, but because I had no tamarind paste, I simply omitted the ingredient and the dish was still delicious. This is officially my new favorite cookbook!
