1. Heat the butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened.

2. Stir in the minced garlic, curry powder, ground cumin, turmeric powder, garam masala, cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

3. Add the diced tomatoes with their juices, the carrots, yam, red potatoes and water. Stir well and bring to a boil.

4. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover partly, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes and carrots begin to soften.
