Can  I pressure cook sweet potatoes for the south indian style poriyal

Pressure cooking might alter the sweet potato texture. I would recommend steam cooking as it gives a perfect sweet potato curry 

Rough chopping 

I generally rough chop the sweet potatoes into big pieces, Steam cook them, peel the skin, and chop into bite-sized piece.

Cooking time

depends on the sweet potato variety, also size. Cook till it is fork tender

WIDE PAN FOR sakkaraivalli kizhangu PODI CURRY 

For the perfect curry texture, I recommend a wide pan so that sweet potatoes don't overlap and cook evenly.

No, low- medium flame is perfect. An iron pan retains the heat so it will be perfect

oil for sweet potato podi curry

I used coconut oil, but you can use any oil of your choice 

CURRY POWDER

I used idli milagai podi. Instead, you can prepare podi like kovakkai, or Kalyana potato, or chettinad potato. You can also use sambar powder, or sundal podi instead

WHAT SHOULD BE THE TEXTURE OF THE PODI?

In our home, we generally prefer slightly coarse ground homemade podi as it gives a nice texture to the podi. You can ground the curry powder fine or coarse according to your preference.

CAN I ADD ONION FOR sweet potato podi kari?

Yes, you can add onion, garlic, ginger, etc. According to your taste.
