Preparation:

Simmer yams until soft but not falling apar Tbsp When lentils are soft (takes about 1/2 hr if you got the right kind) drain off any water you can and add lentils to the yam pot. Stir and cook, adding more water if mixture is too thick (texture of a thick soup is good, texture of refried beans is 'too thick'). Then add:

The chickpea flour replaces hand-ground chickpeas or mung beans, which thicken the stew, making the sauce more 'gravylike'. Yum. Also, using the red chili paste (a violently hot vietnamese concoction with citric acid added to fresh ground chilies) improves the taste. Yum. Yam.
