Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium Sweet Potatoes around 350 grams
  • 3 Green chillies crushed
  • 2 tbsp Cilantro
  • 1 tbsp Coconut shredded, optional
  • 1 tsp Cumin seeds
  • 1/3 cup Peanuts roasted and crushed
  • 1 tsp Salt or as required
  • 1/2 tsp Sugar
  • 1.5 tbsp Ghee

Instructions
 

  • Scrub and wash the sweet potato to remove all the dirt and peel off the skin with a peeler. You can skip peeling the skin if you want.
  • Sweet potatoes can be shredded into long strips using the larger hole of a box grater.
  • Transfer the shredded sweet potato into a bowl of water while shredding the next batch so they will not turn dark in color. Set aside for 15 minutes.
  • Squeeze out all the water from the shredded sweet potatoes.
  • Heat some ghee in a pan on medium heat.
  • Add some cumin seeds and let them crackle. Lower the heat and transfer the green chillies.
  • Transfer the shredded sweet potatoes, add some salt, and mix well.
  • Cover the pan with a lid, increase the heat to medium low, and cook the sweet potatoes for 5-6 minutes.
  • Take out the lid, let the steam release, and don’t stir with a spatula for 30 seconds.
  • Add some crushed roasted peanuts, sugar, mix well, and cover the pan for another 2 minutes.
  • Next, add some cilantro leaves, mix them well, and let the sweet potatoes cook for another 2 minutes by frequently stirring them.
  • Turn off the heat and serve with some coconut and cilantro. You can squeeze some lime juice if you like.

Notes

  • Scrub the sweet potatoes very well to remove the dirt from them. 
  • You can keep the sweet potatoes in the water for 30-40 minutes as well. 
  • Remember to squeeze out all the water from the sweet potatoes or else the stir fry will turn mushy and soggy. 
  • Removing the steam without disturbing the sweet potatoes is very important. It will help to release all the raw smell from them. 
  • Do not add crushed peanuts while the shredded sweet potatoes are raw.
