Chef's notes
This dish can be enhanced with a sizzling toasted spice oil or a roasted garlic yogurt sauce.
Serve with salted, lemony yogurt and black lentils on the side, if desired.
For a spice topping, heat neutral oil, add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, chopped garlic, and red pepper flakes, then pour over the potato flesh.
To make roasted garlic yogurt, roast garlic with the sweet potatoes and mix with yogurt.
