Notes
1. I instantly prepare coconut milk from grated coconut. If it is hard to find grated coconut, use the coconut milk powder or bottled coconut milk.
2. If you don't like more spicy, reduce the amount of curry powder according to your taste.
3. Elephant foot yam is allergic to a few people, be aware.
