  1. Cut the tops of the sweet potatoes, slice in thirds and add it to a big pot of water with 1 tbsp of salt. Bring it to a boil and simmer, cook for about 15-20 minutes. When a knife goes through it easily, it is cooked. Don't overcook the potatoes, if you do, it will become very mushy. It has to keep it's shape. Once you drain it, let it cool, peel and cut to ½ inch pieces. Set aside.
  2. Cut the leeks and wash it very well and drain, set aside.
  3. Keep a large saute pan on medium heat. Add oil, once it's slightly hot, add the garlic and red chili flakes, saute. Make sure not to burn it. Add chili powder, cumin, asafoetida, turmeric powder, toast for few seconds. Add the chopped and washed leeks, saute with a little salt. Add salt only for the leeks, because the potato is cooked with salt already.
  4. Saute the leeks for 2 minutes, try to keep the crunch. Add the cooked sweet potatoes, now roast it for about 10 minutes. Check for salt, if you need more add a little. Add the coconut and peanuts, mix well and serve with rotis.
