Ingredients
Method
Peel the potatoes and chop them into small pieces (about ¼ inch cubes).
Heat oil in a non stick pan or a cast iron pan. Once the oil heats, add the mustard seeds and turmeric powder.
Once the mustard seeds sputter add the chili powder, dhania jeera powder, salt and curry leaves and fry for a minute.
Now add the chopped sweet potatoes and give it a good mix. Cover it with a lid and let the potatoes cook until soft. Take care that you don’t overcook it, because then it will become very mushy. Open the pan when they still have a slight bite to them. This will take about 8 mins.
Let the sweet potatoes cook over medium high heat until they develop a nice brown layer to it. Keep stirring in between to ensure even browning.
Serve the Sweet Potato Curry with rice and sambhar/rasam.
