1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 medium onion (finely chopped)

Fresh coriander leaves (for garnish)
Instructions:
Preparation of Sweet Potatoes
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into medium-sized cubes. Set aside in a bowl of water to prevent discoloration.
Tempering the Spices
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Let them splutter for a few seconds until aromatic.
Add chopped onions and green chili. Sauté the onions until they turn golden brown.
Adding Flavor
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Cook the spices for another minute, making sure they don't burn.
Cooking the Sweet Potatoes
Drain the sweet potatoes and add them to the pan. Toss them gently in the spice mixture, ensuring all the cubes are coated evenly.
Add salt to taste and mix well.
Simmering
Cover the pan with a lid and cook the sweet potatoes on low heat for about 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
If the sabzi seems too dry, you can sprinkle a little water to help with the cooking process.
Finishing Touches
Once the sweet potatoes are cooked through and tender, sprinkle garam masala on top. Mix well and cook for another minute.
Serving
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.
Serve hot with chapati, roti, or rice.
Tips:
You can adjust the spiciness by adding or reducing the quantity of green chili and red chili powder.
For a tangy flavor, you can sprinkle a little lemon juice or add a teaspoon of amchur (dry mango powder) towards the end.
You can also add peas or spinach for extra nutrition and variety.
Enjoy your healthy and flavorful Sweet Potato Sabzi!
