It’s been almost a week since I posted a recipe. We had some of our friends (including nithu and her husband ganesh) visiting us and we were busy playing host. They were in town to see the Detroit International Auto Show and it was a great experience to see all the new vehicles. Nithu and I had a great time.
Sweet potatoes or Yam are rich in nutrients such as dietary fiber, beta carotene (equivalent to Vitamin A), Vitamin C & Vitamin B6. I knew it was better than potatoes, but this is what Wikipedia has to say about it:
In 1992, the Center for Science in the Public Interest compared the nutritional value of sweet potatoes to other vegetables. Considering fiber content, complex carbohydrates, protein, vitamins A and C, iron, and calcium, the sweet potato ranked highest in nutritional value. According to these criteria, sweet potatoes earned 184 points, 100 points over the next on the list, the common potato.(NCSPC)
Here is a simple recipe to include sweet potato in your usual diet.
Ingredients:
Method of preparation :
Serve it hot with rice and sambar
