Easy way to roast sweet potatoes on gas

1- Fry sweet potatoes on pan

This is the easiest homemade way to roast sweet potatoes. For this, take a pan with thick bottom. First of all, wash and dry the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Now apply a little ghee or oil on them. Place the sweet potatoes on the pan and cover them with a lid or a large vessel. Keep the gas flame low, so that the sweet potatoes do not burn from outside and cook thoroughly from inside. After about 10 minutes, turn them and fry the other side also for 10-15 minutes. Depending on the size of the sweet potatoes, the time may be slightly more or less. Keep checking occasionally. When they become soft, turn off the gas. Your hot roasted sweet potatoes are ready.

2- Roast in pan or cooker

If you have a heavy bottomed pan, you can easily fry sweet potatoes in it too. For this, wash the sweet potatoes, dry them and apply some ghee or oil on them. Now place them in the pan and cover it with a lid. Cook on low flame and turn after about 10 minutes. After this cook for some more time. When the sweet potatoes become soft, take them out. You can also fry sweet potatoes in the cooker in the same manner. For this, do not put water in the cooker and keep the sweet potatoes inside. Place the lid, but do not use the cooker in normal pressure-cooking mode to prevent whistling and pressure build-up. It would be better to use a heavy pan instead of a cooker, because it is not safe to heat the cooker without water.

3- Fry sweet potatoes with the help of salt

If you want to roast sweet potatoes in the desi style, you can also try the salt method. For this, take a heavy bottomed pan and add dry salt in a thick layer. Heat the salt on medium flame. Now place the washed and well-dried sweet potatoes on top of the salt and cover the pan. Let them cook on low flame. Keep turning occasionally, so that the sweet potatoes are cooked well from all sides. Depending on the size, these may take about 20-30 minutes or more to prepare. Use a fork or knife to check whether the sweet potatoes are soft inside. When ready, take them out carefully and clean off the salt on top.
