Cut the peeled yams into small pieces. (The baby ones only need to be cut in half and some left whole).
In a bowl combine the garlic and ginger paste, curry powder, turmeric, cumin and garam masala with a little water. Stir to make a paste. Set aside.
In a wok on medium heat, add oil.
Add onions and fenugreek seeds. Stir and cook for 2 minutes.
Add the curry paste and stir. Add about ¼ cup of water and allow the spices to roast.
When the liquid has reduced, add some more water and allow to reduce again.
Then add about ½ cup water. Add the yams. Stir.
Cover and cook for about 15 minutes.
Occasionally stir and add water if required until yams are soft. Test by inserting a fork.
When yams are cooked, stir in the pinto beans. Add tomatoes. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add salt to taste.
Enjoy with rice or Indian bread of your choice.
