Sweet potato is a seasonal plant, brimming with immense health benefits. This tuber is rich in essential vitamins,minerals and nutrients. There are varied dishes prepared from this staple vegetable. I prepared vada today. The vadai is akin to cutlet or potato vada/vadai in texture with soft inner layer and crispy exterior. The slight sweetness makes the vada more flavorsome. Sugar content in the veggie imparts a brownish tinge to the dish.
INGREDIENTS
MASHED SWEET POTATO- 1 1/2 CUPS
GRAM FLOUR- 1 1/2 TBSP
CORN FLOUR- 3/4 TBSP
GRATED GINGER- 1 TSP
CHOPPED GREEN CHILLI- 2 NOS
CHILLI POWDER- 3/4 TSP
ONIONS- 2 NOS
CURRY LEAVES- 1 SPRIG
SALT TO TASTE
OIL FOR FRYING
METHOD
Wash sweet potatoes and pressure cook in cooker for two whistles along with peel.
On cooling remove the peel from the sweet potatoes and mash it nicely.
In a wide bowl transfer mashed sweet potatoes and add all the above cited ingredients and mix to a stiff dough.
Don't add water. The moisture content in the boiled veggie is enough for mixing .
Pinch the dough and flatten it on your palm or plastic sheet. Spread flattened dough on a clean,dry surface.
Heat oil in a pan. When it is hot enough drop the vadais gently and fry on both the sides till crisp.
