Ingredients
- 500 grams Sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 inch piece, finely chopped Ginger
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 8 leaves Curry leaves
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into small 1-inch pieces for even cooking.
Step 2
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Add mustard seeds to the hot oil. When they start to splutter, add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
Step 4
Add the curry leaves, followed by chopped ginger and minced garlic. Sauté for a couple of minutes until fragrant.
Step 5
Stir in the turmeric powder and red chili powder, cooking for another 30 seconds to release their flavors.
Step 6
Add the cubed sweet potatoes and salt, mixing well to coat them evenly with the spices.
Step 7
Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook on low-medium heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender.
Step 8
Remove the lid and let any excess moisture evaporate, stirring gently so the sweet potatoes do not break apart.
Step 9
Once the sweet potatoes are cooked and slightly crispy, turn off the heat and sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro on top.
Step 10
Serve the Paleo Batata Bhaji hot as a side dish or a light meal.
