    Learn how to make Indian Style Sweet Potato Fry recipe with detailed step by step pictures. Andhra Style Sweet Potato Roast recipe โ€“ Chilakada Dumpa Vepudu recipe.

    Sweet Potato Fry Recipe

    Andhra Style Sweet Potato Roast recipe is a simple, easy and delicious fry made on stove top that can be served as a side dish with hot rice or any variety rice dishes.

    Sweet Potato Fry

    Stove top Sweet Potato Fry is a simple recipe made with boiled sweet potatoes. In Andhra cuisine, sweet potatoes called as โ€˜Chilakada Dumpaโ€™ are usually added to Mukkala Pulusu. At home, we also make a simple chilakada dumpa koora โ€“ sweet potato stir-fry, especially when there are no potatoes. Sweet potatoes also work great when baked like in this Baked Sweet Potato Fries. This Chilakada Dumpa Vepudu โ€“ Sweet Potato Roast is a flavorful recipe with just a few spices and boiled sweet potatoes cooked on stove top until they are crisp. The same recipe can be used for both potatoes and taro roots (arbi).

    Tips & Important Notes for Making Andhra Style Sweet Potato Fry

    Making Sweet Potato Roast on stove top is simple and easy, it is also a beginner-friendly recipe. Follow the below notes to make it perfectly.

    • Choose large & plump sweet potatoes than slender ones. Pressure cook them for 1 whistle on medium flame. They should be cooked but not turn to a mush. We should be able to remove the skin and chop them to cubes. Alternatively, cook them in an open pot with enough water and after 15 mins, insert a knife to check if they are cooked enough. When the knife goes through smoothly, remove from heat.
    • I usually recommend cast iron pan for making fries and roasts on stove-top. I used a light weight cast iron pan to make this recipe. For easy and quick cooking, go for non-stick pan but be warned that the roast does not retain the crispness for long when cooked in a nonstick pan.
    • We add rice flour to the boiled sweet potatoes to remove any extra moisture and also induce crispness while cooking them. Donโ€™t go overboard but adjust the quantity depending on how crisp you want the roast to be.
    • I add a little extra spice โ€“ both red chilli powder and coriander powder given the sweeter taste of sweet potatoes. Adjust it to your taste preferences.
