Chettinad Sauteed Sweet Potato

Chettinad Sauteed Sweet Potato is a dry stir fry made with boiled sweet potatoes in a mix of spices that make it get to just snack on or as a side dish.

Sweet Potatoes are delicious just boiled. We mostly enjoy it as such, though during growing up I remember mixing sugar and enjoying as a snack. These days we simply boil it and eat it for the evening snack.

The first time I got to taste this sauteed sweet potatoes was when my colleague got it and she said in her Chettinad cuisine, it is commonly made this way. I asked for the recipe and it was so simple. Even the dish looks very simple yet the taste was amazing.

When I get bored to eat as such, I often make it this way.

We are starting the BM#88, Week 2, where I have been blogging on Regional Cuisines of Indian. I shared from different states and for day 3 it is from Tamil Nadu.
