SWEET POTATO UMMAN

We use "Sweet potato" very rarely. My granny used to make steamed potato. Its tasty having as it is. After marriage I learnt this ''Sweet potato umman'' from my mother in law. Shez expert in cooking. Hot and sweet makes the dish yummy and its fast, easy and even tastes better for the next day. Its a good combo with Dosa or Idlies.



INGREDIENTS

1 medium sized Sweet potato.

1/2 Tomato.

1 tbs Urad dal.

1 tbs Chilli powder.

1 tsp Mustard seeds.

1 tsp Turmeric powder.

1/2 Water.

1 tsp Coconut Oil.

Pinch of Hing.

Few curry leaves.

METHOD.

Cut sweet potato into piece, immersed in water. Keep it aside.

In a pan heat oil. Add mustard seeds and ural dal. When urad dal starts to turn slight brown, add curry leaves, tomato ,chilli pdr, turmeric powder and salt.

Add sweet potato with addition of water. Simmer for few min and allow them to cook till the pieces are tender.Later its cooked mash few piece so tht it forms into thick gravy like consistency.

Before removing from fire, sprinkle little with hing and coconut oil.
