Stir Fried Sweet Potatoes With Onion-Carrot Salad
I was alone at home for yet another weekend and was dying to make something other than dal, sambhar, wheat dosa and all the other normal dishes I make over the weekend, especially if I am alone. So I went to the corner vegetable wallah, looked around and my eyes caught a pile of sweet potatoes in the corner. I immediately decided to buy it, not giving much thought to what I would make with them.
To my horror, I got back home and came to realise that my internet connection had conked off. I was relying on looking up online for some recipes to cook the potatoes. Since that option was ruled out, I just started putting together my own recipe and it turned out so well that I was sad there was nobody to share it with.

Guys, don't listen to that anonymous person out there. These are indeed sweet potoatoes and if he/she was sure of what he/she was saying, then he/she would have associated a name with the blatant accusation of me getting my veggies wrong!
