Growing up, I remember sweet potato was only used in Mukkala Pulusu in our home. The skin is usually left intact and the vegetable is cut into roundels and added to this spicy tangy sweet concoction that happens to be my favorite. All of us sit together to eat and anyone who gets an extra piece would give it to me, for thats how much I love the Chilakada-dumpa (sweet potato) in the Pulusu. And then I remember dad preparing a sweet dish using sweet potato on our popular demand. It was such a simple recipe but tasted all the same great. We would lick the bowl clean and wait for the next time, it would be prepared. Its high time I ask him to make it for us again 😀 Who would have thought sweet potato could taste this great as a stir-fry curry?! I was a little skeptical at first but when I tasted the dish at last it was simply awesome. It goes well with rasam or sambar rice. Amma had the idea of this recipe after watching something similar in a cookery show. I liked the sound of it and being bored with the usual curries and vegetables, I thought this would be the welcome change. And I was not wrong. I roasted the sweet potatoes on open fire and soon the kitchen was filled with sweet aroma. One can boil the vegetable too but I am sure the taste is not the same. Recipe What I used -
Sweet Potatoes, 4 medium Onion, 1 large Ginger Garlic Paste, 1 tsp Green Chillies, 2 Oil, 2 tsp Red Chilli, 1 Mustard Seeds, 1 tsp Urad Dal, 1 stp Jeera, 1 tsp Hing, ¼ tsp Red Chilli Powder, 1 teaspoon (optional) Salt, as required Water, as required
