Nigerian Pepper Sauce and Yams

1 Nigerian Yam
2 large onions
1 can tomato paste
6 habanero peppers
1/4 tsp curry
2 TB vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves
Nigerian Red pepper to taste
salt to taste

Peel and chop the yams into 1-1 1/2 inch slices.
Rinse them and put in a pot with enough water to cover them add a little bit of salt to the water.
Boil them for 20-30 minutes until they are soft enough to poke through with a fork. Should be similar to a baked potato consistency.
While they are boiling. Chop the onions in half and then into thin slices. Heat 2 TB oil in a pan and add the onions. Add the curry, red pepper, and salt to taste to the onions. 
Put the habaneros, garlic cloves, and the tomato paste in a food processor/blender until the peppers are a sauce.

Continue to stir the onions and let them sweat or begin to soften. It should take about 5 minutes.
When they are soft add the habanero sauce to it and continue to stir it.
Stir it for 5-10 minutes until the sauce and onions are mixed together and the flavors have a chance to come together.
Serve the onion sauce over the yam slices and I hope you like spicy food because this makes me sweat/cry it's so hot!
Tips- you can always add other veggies to the onion mixture to switch it up
