The versatile sweet potato

Sweet potatoes are a staple diet in our household.  I sometimes just have boiled sweet potatoes for breakfast and they are quite filling. 

This morning I prepared sweet potato  pakoras. You need to make a thick batter of gram flour and add salt, chilli powder and ajwan to taste  They are deep fried. 

My friend made a cake with sweet potato the other day.  My mother always added pieces of sweet potatoes in her pork dish.   When making a brinjal dish add a few pieces of the sweet potato and see the difference. 

Village folks make papads with sweet potato.  They taste great when deep fried.  An ideal snack with a piping hot cup of tea when it pours outside.
