Nothing beats cooking in a steamer Nothing beats cooking in a steamer

All my life, I’ve stayed away from sweet potatoes, which  the rest of the family savors as a fasting delicacy. Mitha Aloo Ki Chat is one appetizer that makes me pick the vegetarian selection on-board Singapore Airlines to Mumbai. Although I haven’t figured the exact recipe yet, this one works well in the interim, while my experiments continue. In the next iteration, I’m going to add some tamarind chutney. If someone has a recipe already, please do share it. Point to note is that  I’ve seen exceptional results when using the steamer (my wife got for preparing momos) as against boiling in a pressure cooker.
