Ratale Kis - Sweet Potato Hash

Ratale Kis in Marathi

Serves : 2 to 3 persons


Ingredients:
4 1/2 cup grated Sweet Potato (approx 3 big)
1 tbsp Ghee
1/2 tsp Cumin seeds
4 Green chilies, finely chopped OR 2-3 Dried Red Chilies
1/4 cup Cilantro, finely chopped
1/2 tsp Cumin Powder
3 tbsp Roasted Peanuts Powder
salt to taste
1/2 tsp Sugar
2 tbsp Cilantro for garnishing
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Scrapped Coconut (Fresh)
Grater (Use Big Hole side)

Method:
1) Wash Sweet potatoes thoroughly with water. Generally I don't peel the skin. I only remove if any black spots on the skin of Sweet Potatoes. It doesn't change the taste of the dish if you grate it with skin. But if you want, you can peel the skin and then grate it. While grating Sweet potatoes, keep ready one medium and deep bowl, half filled with cold water. When you done grating with 1/2 Sweet Potato, put the grated potato into cold water. It will help to avoid Discoloration. Finish grating with all three Sweet Potatoes.
2) Heat a wok or pan over medium heat. Add Ghee and wait until it becomes hot. Add Cumin seeds, let it crackle. Add Chilies and Cilantro. Stir for 5 to 10 seconds. Now hold handful grated Sweet potatoes in one hand and squeeze tightly and remove excessive water. Add it to the pan. Repeat the same with the rest and stir gently. Add cumin Powder and stir nicely. Do not add salt at this moment because the grated potatoes will reduce in quantity after it gets cooked. It could become salty if you add salt before its done.
3) let the Potatoes cook over medium heat. Do not cover the pan. Stir gently in between. within 6 to 7 minutes grated potatoes get shrink but they are not cooked completely. Then add salt, sugar, peanuts powder and stir well. Now cover the pan with lid and let it cook for few minutes more.
Once Ratale Kis is done Garnish with Lemon Juice, Cilantro, and freshly scrapped coconut. Serve hot with plain Yogurt.
