Spicy sweet potato

Indian Sweet Potatoes are different from yams.  They have pretty pink skin and the inside is yellow. They still taste sweet and delicious. I am sharing a simple Indian Sweet Potato recipe that is sweet, spicy and flavorful. I serve this as a side dish for rice.

 Ingredients

2 Indian sweet potatoes (boiled)
1 Onion
Green chillies - 3
Curry leaves
Chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
Cumin powder - 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1 pinch
salt

Method

Boil the sweet potatoes.  I usually cook them in the microwave oven for 10 minutes. Peel the skin and cut them into cubes.  

Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds and some urad dhal.  When the mustard seeds sputter, add the onions with green chillies and curry leaves.  Fry the onions until they become golden brown.  Add the sweet potatoes, salt and the spices.  Keep on stirring until the spices blend well with the sweet potatoes.  Garnish them with some cilantro leaves.
