Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger
- 1 whole green chili
- 10 leaves curry leaves
- 250 ml water
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
Peel and grate the ginger and finely chop the green chili.
Heat the coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them splutter for about 30 seconds.
Add the grated ginger, chopped green chili, and curry leaves. Saute for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the diced sweet potatoes, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well to coat the sweet potatoes with the spices.
Pour in the water and bring it to a simmer, then cover and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Check the sweet potatoes for doneness. They should be soft and easily pierced with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the lid and let any excess water evaporate, allowing the sweet potatoes to caramelize slightly.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
