Instead of Cassava
PotatoUse the same weight; peel and cut into chunks. It cooks much faster than cassava, so reduce simmering by 10–15 minutes and check often.
Sweet potatoUse the same weight; peel and cut into chunks. It is sweeter and softer, so reduce cooking by about 10 minutes and adjust sugar or tamarind.
YamUse the same weight; peel and cut into similar pieces. It is closer in starchiness but can be firmer, so simmer until fully tender.
