Spicy Sweet Potato Curry...

              I love to eat boiled sweet potato with jaggery. So just thought of buying two sweet potatoes in a grocery store near by and thought of cooking capsicum curry tonight. After coming to hostel, an idea flashed in my mind saying "why not make a sweet potato curry ?" That's how Spicy Sweet potato curry was born...!!

Ingredients Used:

Sweet Potatoes
Capsicum  
Onions
Tomatoes
Green Chillies
Ginger Garlic paste
Garam Masala
Red Chilly Powder
Turmeric
Oil
Cumin Seeds
Salt
Coconut milk (made out of ready-made coconut milk powder)

Procedure:

Heat the oil in rice cooker, add jeera and chopped green chillies to it. Fry for sometime and then add chopped onions. When onions are saught till transparent add ginger garlic paste, salt, turmeric and garam masala powder and mix well.


Let the aroma tickle your nose. Now add chopped capsicum and fry for sometime.


Close the lid and let it boil for 5 minutes. Add chopped tomatoes after the capsicum gets cooked.


Let the tomatoes get cooked. The curry looks like this:


Add salt and chilly powder if required. Now mix the sweet potato pieces and add some water.


Close the lid and let it cook for 15-20 minutes.After sweet potato gets cooked, the curry becomes thicker because of the starch from sweet potato. Now add thick coconut milk and mix well. That's the end of the procedure.


Add some lemon juice to taste(if required). Serve hot with roitis or rice. It tastes spicy,tangy and sweet a different taste altogether...!!
