Why is it that anytime anyone in Manhattan does something, they thing that the rest of us have never heard of it, had it or done it? At any rate, the magazine obsesses with flavors and tries to push them on everything. This week/month it's chiles and yogurt and a bunch of other things that simply don't go together; this recipe is no exception. I'm not sure what demographic that you are trying to reach but why not try to reach the ones that would like to make something that's edible. I can only imagine what the sweet potato, yogurt, chile, and mint dish that you suggest for Thanksgiving. I'd damned sure never be able to host another one if I did offer it. Maybe that's your point?!?
