Yesterday I decided to experiment and made spicy sweet potato. Loved this dish because it has both the sweet and spicy taste and delicious. The spicy taste comes from the cumin, coriander, chilli and the sweet taste comes from the natural sweetness of the sweet potato. I combined the dish with salt and pepper chicken wings. Yes, it is plain but you don’t want the food to have too much spicy or it will overtake the flavour. of the spicy sweet potato.
