I was really surprised at how ridiculously easy these Sweet Potato Indian Pakora’s were to make!  I’m sure they aren’t the traditional Indian recipe, cause I just made them up, but they were so yummy so who cares!?

I was worried they’d taste like onion, which I really don’t like unless it’s cooked well, but they didn’t at all.  Even my kids ate them, which shocked the pants off me…

I cooked them in a mix of ghee and olive oil rather than deep frying them, and they were perfect.  We ate them with butter chicken and brown rice, but I wish I’d made some naan…
