RataLyacha kees (Tikhat)

RataLyacha Kees
      a  spicy snack of  grated sweet potato

This is a carb rich break-fast dish and can also be made for Upwas/Fasting. The sweet version tastes good too.


Ingredients
1 large or 2 medium size sweet potatoes
1 cup crushed roasted peanuts
salt and sugar to taste

Tempering
2 -3 tsp ghee
1 tsp cumin seeds/jeera
2-3 green chilies(slit)

Garnishing
2-3 tsp freshly grated coconut

Method
  • Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and peel off the skin   ( I use scrubber to take off the  mud if any  as I don't peel off the skin completely)
  • Grate it and soak it in water till you prepare for the tempering.(  to remove the gum/cheek and to avoid the blackening of the surface as well)
  • Heat the ghee in a pan. Add the tempering ingredients one by one
  • Add grated sweet potato by pressing it in palms to remove excess water. Cover with lid.& let it cook on medium flame
  • Open the lid and stir with the help of a fork.
  • Add crushed peanuts,salt and sugar. Mix well.
  • Garnish with  grated coconut
