  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 TBSP Sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric
  • 2 TBSP Sambhar powder

  • 1 TBSP split Pigeon Pea Toor dal / thuvaram paruppu
  • 1/4 tsp Asafoetida skip for GF

Instructions
 

  • Wash, and chop Sweet potatoes into thickish roundels (any shape works fine as long as they are evenly cut).
  • Pressure cook for 1-2 whistles until done but not mushy (alternately, you can boil them in a large pan with lots of water and its fork tender).
  • Meanwhile, Soak the tamarind in 2 cups of HOT water for 15/ 20 mins and extract the pulp.
  • In a deep bottomed pan, heat the sesame oil, splutter the tempering ingredients on a low flame, once the toor dal slightly browns, add the spice powder and turmeric and fry for 15-20 seconds.
  • Now add the tamarind pulp (strained of all dirt), add the salt and let it simmer for 10-12 mins.
  • Then add the cooked sweet potato, jaggery and let it cook for further 1-2 mins
  • If at this stage, the gravy doesnt thicken, add 2 tsp of rice flour in 4 tsp of water and mix well. Add this slurry to the simmering gravy.
  • Let it thicken till a spoon appears glossy and oil separates.
  • Serve hot / warm with above suggested dishes. Tastes great especially with rice and pongal too :)
