Chettinad Sweet Potato Varuval
When we were kids amma used to buy sweet potatoes only during pongal, that also she will buy only few..We used to fight for it, because everyone loves it. But nowadays we buy it more often. We don't usually cook sweet potatoes, it is had just boiled.
Have you ever tried that way. It taste so good. Couple of weeks before amma bought few pounds of sweet potatoes from the market..And I was wondering what to do with those other than boiling it..
So when I browsed, I found sweet potato fries and sweet potato varuval is rocking the internet. So thought to try it out. And the result was not bad, I realised that sweet potatoes taste great even it is cooked and fried.

My husband is a huge fan of sweet potatoes. I thought he would like this poriyal, but I had no idea he would like it so much! This is what he said at dinner: "You know, all the recipes you get from Mrs. Yummy Tummy are great, but this one is the best. I'm sorry, but I want to marry this poriyal and have little baby sweet potatoes" (he's such a joker xD) Thanks for posting this!
