To my horror, I got back home and came to realise that my internet connection had conked off. I was relying on looking up online for some recipes to cook the potatoes. Since that option was ruled out, I just started putting together my own recipe and it turned out so well that I was sad there was nobody to share it with.
Stir Fried Sweet Potatoes With Onion-Carrot Salad
Ingredients:
For the Stir Fried Sweet Potatoes:Sweet potatoes cut in round slices – 150gm
Marinade:
Curd – 1 tbsp
Ginger garlic paste – 1 tsp
Chilly powder – 1/4 tsp
Jeera powder – 1/2 tsp
Coriander powder – 1 tsp
Pepper – 1/4 tsp
Salt – to taste
How I Made It:
1. Keep the sweet potato slices marinated in the marinade for 1 hour.
2. Shallow fry till both sides are golden brown and keep aside.
For the Onion-Carrot Salad:
What I Used:
Carrots – 2
Onions – 1, big
Fresh Coriander Leaves – a bunch
Chilly powder – one tsp
Lime juice – of half a lime
Salt – to taste
How I Made It:
1. Cut the onions and carrots into long strips.
2. Mix in the chilly powder, salt and lime.
3. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
Serve with the stir fried sweet potatoes.

A spicy preparation of sweet potatoes is always welcome.
Nags, ithu madhurakkizhangano? I haven’t tasted it as spicy!
that looks delicious Nags! Just today i was lookign at the sweet potato i got 2 weeks back and thinkign what i should do with it- i just ended up boiling it in big chunks for my kid s- wish i had seen this first!
the onion-carrot salad on the side looks groovy!
WOW!! looks very appetizing!!
I love the idea of using curd in the marinade – works really well with starchy vegetables.
hey!
just wanted to let you know that what you have cooked are yams and not sweet potatoes..
Guys, don’t listen to that anonymous person out there. These are indeed sweet potoatoes and if he/she was sure of what he/she was saying, then he/she would have associated a name with the blatant accusation of me getting my veggies wrong!
Hmpff!
