16 oz orange flesh sweet potato, peeled and sliced or diced
4 oz onion, peeled and sliced
3 cups water
1 teaspoon kosher or large grain salt
3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons sunflower oil
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Bring 3 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt to boil in a 4 quart pot with lid
Put oil in a pan with lid and heat till hot
Add the sweet potatoes into the pot with boiling water and boil at least 10 minutes, until the sweet potatoes soften.
Add onions to the pan with oil.
Stir and separate the onions, then add the tomato paste and the dry spices.
Cook the onions and spices till the onions are translucent.
Allow boiled vegetables to cool.
Combine all the ingredients from pot and pan plus coconut cream into a food processor (or blender) and blend until smooth.

Notes:

NOTE 1:  I used the coconut cream from Thai Kitchen unsweetened coconut milk in a can.

NOTE 2:  Onions and fenugreek dissolve gallstones.  If you have gallstones and eat this daily for a month you will notice a big difference.
