When looking for long lasting vegetables during this pandemic, I added sweet potatoes to my list. While potatoes are our all time favorites, sweet potatoes also provide a nice change.
Sweet potatoes come in a huge variety. In India, we generally get the white fleshed ones. In the US, I buy the orange fleshed ones.
Sweet potatoes are quite rich in Vitamin A. I use them roasted and also for halwa (a dessert).The recipe I'll tell you about can be served as a snack. Paired with a soup, it can double up as light dinner. This is also a vrat (fast)-friendly snack.

Serves 3
Ingredients:
Sweet Potatoes - 3-4
Ginger - 1 tablespoon crushed
Green Chillies - 3-4
Oil of your choice- 1 tablespoon
Cumin Seeds, Salt, Black Pepper, Lemon juice, Coriander leaves.
Way To Go:
1. Wash and peel sweet potatoes. Cube them.
2. In a kadahi (wok), take oil or ghee.
3. When the oil is hot, add cumin seeds. When the seeds splutter, add green chillies and ginger paste. Sauté for 30 seconds and add cubed sweet potatoes.
4. Add salt and mix well. Cover and cook on a low-medium flame. Keep turning.
5. After the sweet potatoes are done, add black pepper, lemon juice and chopped coriander leaves. Mix well. I let the coriander leaves cook a little as I'm avoiding raw stuff during this time.
