Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 inch piece, finely chopped Ginger
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 8 leaves Curry leaves
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into small 1-inch pieces for even cooking.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add mustard seeds to the hot oil. When they start to splutter, add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
Add the curry leaves, followed by chopped ginger and minced garlic. Sauté for a couple of minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the turmeric powder and red chili powder, cooking for another 30 seconds to release their flavors.
Add the cubed sweet potatoes and salt, mixing well to coat them evenly with the spices.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook on low-medium heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender.
Remove the lid and let any excess moisture evaporate, stirring gently so the sweet potatoes do not break apart.
Once the sweet potatoes are cooked and slightly crispy, turn off the heat and sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro on top.
Serve the Paleo Batata Bhaji hot as a side dish or a light meal.
