Sweet potato curry|Sakkaravalli kizhangu poriyal
Sakkaravalli Kizhangu/Sweet potato in English is one of the most important vegetables every South Indian would buy during Pongal festival. Actually I should have made this post immediately after Pongal. But sorry, I am posting this recipe in sweet potato off season.

Actually I had scheduled to share Paneer tikka recipe today. But I couldn’t do it as I had an important personal work. Due to time constraint, I am posting this recipe which was lying in my drafts for months. This poriyal recipe is very easy to make as it has no grinding job. Bachelors and working women can make it easily during busy morning hours. I learnt recipe this from my MIL.

Usually we make sweet potato poriyal in two ways. One using freshly ground masala like this recipe. Another one is this easy version by just using sambar powderThe combination of sweet and spicy taste goes very well with Sambar and more kuzhambu sadamSo lets check how to make this yummy Indian sweet potato curry recipe using few ingredientsCheck out my brahmin’s style easy potato curry recipe too !
