Sweet potato/Yam curry

Sweet potato also called as ‘yam’ is a very good side dish for rice. Add little bit more spice if you are not a big fan of sweet curry. I occasionally do this when bored of regular curry varieties.

Ingredients:

Sweet potato – ¼ kg
Dhaniya podi (homemade) – 1tbsp
Red chilli powder – 1tsp
Turmeric powder – 1tsp
Hing – 1tsp
Urad dal – 1tsp
Mustard seed – 1tsp
Curry leaves – 1tbsp
Oil – 1tbsp
Salt to taste

Method:

Wash and cook the sweet potato in pressure cooker (1whistle)
Remove and cool down, then peel off the skin.
Cut into round shape and keep aside.
In a pan heat oil, add the mustard seeds, when they start cracking add urad dal, curry leaves, hing along with sweet potato.
Add red chilli powder, turmeric and salt.
Fry around 5 to 10 min.
Add the homemade dhaniya powder, sauté for 2min and remove from the heat
