Jeera Sweet Potato

This dish is usually made with potatoes. We are going to use sweet potatoes instead which add a bit more color and sweetness to the dish. This is delicious by itself as a snack or with chapati. Sweet potatos are a great source of antioxidants, iron, copper, manganese and vitamin A.

Ingredients

2 cup chopped sweet potatos
2 tea spoon cumin
2 pinch asafoetida
2 vertically split green chillies
2 tablespoon peanut powder/chutney
1 tablespoon oil
1 tsp red chilli powder (not required if you use ground peanut chutney)
salt per taste
1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Method

Heat oil in a pan and when hot add cumin/jeera, green chillies and asafoetida and let the jeera crackle and brown a bit. Add chopped potatos and shake the pan to coat it with oil and continue stir-shake frying on high heat.

Continue frying till sides of potatos get brown and the edges are crispy as well as th epotatos are cooked. Season with salt.

Remove from heat. Add peanut powder, red chilli powder (or peanut chutney which is nothing but a mixture of the same). Add chopped cilantro and mix.

Variations

You can add some chopped spring onions to give the dish some volume and crunch.
