The first time I had this curry, I was traveling in India. I was on a food tour, and we stopped at a small restaurant in the middle of nowhere. The restaurant was simple, with just a few tables and a small kitchen. But the food was amazing. I ordered the golden turmeric and sweet potato curry, and it was one of the best curries I've ever had. The flavors were so complex and flavorful, and the curry was perfectly spiced. I asked the chef for the recipe, and he was kind enough to share it with me. I've been making this curry ever since, and it's always a hit with my friends and family.
