Healthy bittersweet sabzi
Neem & Sweet potato have extreme differences in taste but have numerous health benefits. I combined them into a single healthy dish by making this simple Sweet Potato & Neem Leaves Vegetable Curry Recipe. The vegetable curry’s flavor is further enhanced with roasted peanut powder. The dish is definitely sweet & bitter with bitterness slightly overriding.
Consuming neem leaves at least weekly once or twice is very good but we do not have many recipes using them. Serve Sweet Potato & Neem Leaves Vegetable Curry Recipe with a rasam rice for lunch, it tastes awesomely bittersweet!
