- 1½ pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into ½-inch chunks
- 1/3 cup plain fat-free yogurt
- 1 tablespoon reduced-fat mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons mango chutney, finely chopped
- 1½ teaspoons curry powder
- ¾ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt*
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1/3 cup minced red onion
- In a vegetable steamer, steam the sweet potatoes until tender, about 10 minutes.
