Method :-
- Wash the sweet potato well taking care to wash off all the dirt .
- Add them in a pressure Cooker with water & cook for one whistle . Remember they cook fast and we don’t want them to get mushy . Alternatively – you can scrape to remove skin , cut into pieces & then cook in water .
- When the sweet potatoes have cooled ( after Pressure cooking ) peel of the skin and cut into small pieces . Heat a Kadai – ad the oil & then splutter the mustard .
- Break the chillies into two and add them in the hot oil .
- Now add the cut pieces and salt , Add the grated coconut now if you are adding .Mix well , cover and let simmer on low flame .
