| Ingredients: |
| 250 gms Sweet Potatoes |
| 1 Tomato (Chopped) |
| 2 cloves Garlic, chopped |

| 2 Green Chillies, finely chopped |
| 4-5 Curry Leaves |

| 1/4 teaspoon Turmeric Powder |
| 2 tablespoons Cooking Oil |

Directions:
- Peel and cut sweet potatoes into slices. Keep them into water to remove excess starch and prevent from turning dark in color.
- Heat oil in a non-stick pan or kadai. Add mustard seeds; when they begin to splutter, add cumin seeds and curry leaves. Sauté them for few seconds. Add chopped onions and garlic, stir-fry until onion becomes translucent.

- Add sweet potatoes, turmeric powder, red chilli powder and salt.
- Mix them and sauté for 2-3 minutes over medium flame.
- Add 3/4 cup water and bring it to boil. Cover with lid and reduce flame to low.
- Cook covered until sweet potatoes become soft and gravy turns thick or for around 8-10 minutes. Stir in between occasionally to prevent sticking and add more water if required.
- Turn off the heat and let curry stand for 5 minutes.
- Transfer it to a serving bowl and garnish with coriander leaves.
