      Interesting recipe for sweet potatoes . Except for chaat and halwa, I haven't really tried much with this healthy root.

      SImple and such a flavorful recipe. The sweet potatoes that we get here in US are on the orange side. I do miss the Indian white sweet potato flavor. It happens to be one of my favorite vegetable.
