SHAKARKANDI VADE, SWEET POTATO VADA, MADHURAKIZHANGU VADA

I am presenting yet another Upwas recipe for you made out of sweet potato.  I have already posted Shakarkandi kheer and spicy shakarkandi.  This vada  I have made with little variation.  Once I had been to Parle  with my friend for some work on that day my friend was fasting.  Hence we went to a restaurant where they sell specially the varieties on fast day.

We happened to eat farali potato stuffed with sabudana.  Instead of Potato, I used sweet potato and it was a wonder ful dish which my daughter and her friend really enjoyed.

Now the recipe for you to enjoy during the Navrathri festival.
