Ingredients Serving: 4

Sweet potato grated 4 cups
Peanuts roasted and coarsely powdered 1/2 cup
Ghee 1 tablespoon
Cumin seeds 1 teaspoon
Green chillies 1-2. You may adjust as per your preference
Finely chopped coriander leaves 2 tablespoon for garnish
Fresh grated coconut for garnish 2 tablespoon for garnish
Salt to taste
Sugar to taste
Lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon

Instructions

Wash and clean the sweet potato in running water. Peel the skin and grate it. Keep them aside soaked in water. (I used coarse holes on the box grater to grate them.)
Heat ghee in pan and add cumin seeds. As cumin seeds crackle, add sliced green chilies and saute it.
Next drain the water from sweet potato and add it to the pan. Stir fry for a minute.
Add coarsely powdered roasted peanuts, salt, sugar to taste and mix it nicely.
Cover the pan and cook it until done [ take care not to make it mushy as sweet potato gets cooked fast].
Switch off the flame and add lemon juice.
Garnish it with coriander leaves and grated coconut just before serving
