I love simple recipes. Growing up boiled sweet potato's were our snack. It was yummy. We try to incorporate it as much as possible, but only I end up eating. Lol.
Recently my friend shared this recipe and my family loved it too. It is very easy and delicious.
Give it a try.
Ingredients:
- 3 sweet potatoes
- 2 spoons ghee or coconut oil to fry. ( or oil of your choice)
- salt to taste( I always use Himalayan or sea salt)

- 1 spoon chili powder( more if you want spicy)
- 1/2 spoon jeera
- curry leaves
- few cloves of garlic
Preparation:
- Peel sweet potatoes, thinly slice them, (like in the picture. If you have fancy slicer you can use it)
- you can put a pan on the stove, add one teaspoon of healthy fat like Ghee, coconut oil, Olive oil or Avacado oil, and saute it on medium flame
- Add few curry leaves, cumin seeds, one clove of garlic, a pinch of red chilly powder, sea salt as desired to taste, and turn off the stove when you see them sauteed well.
