SWEET POTATO / MADHURAKIZHANGU MEZHUKUPURATTI

Sweet potato is a rare ingredient in our house as we dont like that.From child hood itself i hate that .But last week my mother in law told that her sister in law make a fish curry with sweet potato .For this dried fish is used and she likes it very much. Next day my husband bought the sweet potato ( i have the dried fish stocked ).And made fish curry with that for the first time.As it was for the first time ,i didnt took the pic.The curry was ok.But my hus didnt like the mild sweetness of sweet potato.The remaining sweet potato was there and i want to make something else with that.Thus thought to try a mezhukupuratti  and it was tasting good.Though its not typical mezhukupuratti method, but easyyyyyyy to make.It goes well as a side dish for curd rice and can also use as sandwich for kids .

• Saute well so that all masalas get stick to the potatoes

• It may take very little time approximately 10 minutes
• But check in btw and add salt once its little bit cooked ( though i added it first , but it seems to reduce the speed of cooking )
