Ratalyacha Kees

,

Ratale is a marathi word for Sweet Potato. It is a starchy vegetable and low in calaries. We usually use sweet potato during fasting. This recipe has grated sweet potatoes sauted with Indian spices. This is my family's favorite recipe so I make it often even if we are not fasting :)
