RATALYACHA KEES / GRATED SWEET POTATO STIR-FRY / NAVRATRI RECIPES / UPVAAS RECIPES

This is one of the simplest recipe from Maharashtra Cuisine made specially on the fasting days. Grated sweet potato is stir-fried with lot of green chillies, roasted peanut powder, grated coconut and coriander leaves  with a simple tempering of cumin seeds. For seasoning we just use salt and little sugar is optional. I did not add it as the sweet potato has natural sugars.
