Curry Spiced Sweet Potatoes

I found this in this month's cooking light, (march 2008). In the magazine picture it looked like yams instead of sweet potatoes, and since i had those on hand, that's what i used. Also, i replaced the half-and-half with about 1/3 cup of my fat free coconut milk (for recipes), recipe #187372. We enjoyed this recipe with chicken, but it will compliment other meats as well. Very tasty! (i couldn't get the amount through zaar, so the sweet potatoes are about 2 pounds.)
