We love purple sweet potatoes, as they are denser in taste than the regular orange sweet potatoes. I try a lot of dishes using them and I recently wanted to try something that has tangy, sweet, spicy and bitter taste. So I made this dish “Bitter Gourd & Sweet Potato Kulambu”. Bitter Gourd, Sweet Potato & Onion are cooked in tamarind along with sambar powder & other spices, condiments from the kitchen.

However making kids eat Bitter Gourd is not a joke. So if you combine with sweet potato, the bitterness is comparatively suppressed. Cook in a claypot a day earlier than consumption. This makes the dish well marinated and tastes awesome.

Serve Sweet Potato And Bitter Gourd Kulambu along with Steamed Rice, Chow Chow Thoran and Elai Vadam for a weekday meal.
