NDUMA VIAZI KARAI

It seems people are getting back to basics when it comes to food. Organic lifestyle has become common nowadays with people searching for traditional foods like vegetables. Nduma (arrow roots) is one such vegetable that more people are enjoying. I always want to find new ways of preparing food so I had this idea to make some viazi karai using the nduma like I did with these delicious SWEET POTATOES! They turned out yummy and I loves them, so they will definitely be part of my regular menu either for breakfast or as snacks.

SWEET POTATO VIAZI KARAI

Sweet potatoes have always been my favorite vegetable to work with when it comes to having them as a breakfast option or main meal for lunch or dinner. I have made viazi karai  before but this time I used russet potatoes that do not need precooking.  Since then I thought why not make viazi karai with sweet potatoes! The results, AMAZING! Sweet potatoes are not only delicious but filled with lots of healthy nutrients that are actually good for your body. Besides simple starches, raw sweet potatoes are rich in complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber and beta-carotene (a provitamin A carotenoid), with moderate contents of other micro nutrients, including vitamin B5, vitamin B6 and manganese. You can make sweet potato fries, or even baked sweet potatoes. As you can see sweet potatoes are a very versatile vegetable that can be used in so many ways to create awesome dishes that the whole family will love.
