Description
Sweet potato is one ingredient that I know to make just one dish out of it , oops no two actually . Well both being some what same as I use the same ingredients just that one is in a round ball form and the other is in a porridge form . Both dominated with the flavours of coconut .having a lot of sweet potatoes at home and not wanting to repeat the same old recipes , I did come up with these baked sweet potato wedges version . I made sure to add an Indian punch by adding our regular daily used cupboard friendly spices as well . Baked them and I had a platter full of sweet and spicy sweet potato wedges that were crisp on the out side and smooth on the inside . I served it as it is with out a dip and it was all vanished away in seconds . I have never been a fan of spicy and sweet combinations in a dish , but these sweet potato wedges did convert me . The magic simple vegetables can create is unbelievable . I know there are at least a million recipes for any wedges and I am happy to have added my version as well with an Indian twist to it .
