Sweet potato and cheese toast

This is how conversation goes between me and a friend S(She is married to a happy husband, happy because she makes the most delicious food,every single day.)

Me: Hey, I am hungry. Why don't you tell me some snacks that I could make with sweet potato. That is the only thing lying in my pantry.
S:Boil in water till they are semi-cooked. Then try deep-frying and putting salt.
Me: Naah, tell me something else.
S: Make a cutlet/kebab. The same way you make the vegetable cutlet.
Me:Hmm..

This conversation happened after actually going through tons of recipes involving sweet potato.

*After a while*

Me: Oye, I made a sandwich filling out of the sweet potato. It tastes good.
S: Ok, fine. Enjoy your meal :)

Yes, I know. I am like that. After all that querying and searching over web, I still make what I want to. Anyone, who wants to hire me as a chef? ;)

Preparation time - 10-12minutes
Serves - makes 2 slices of toast

Ingredients:
Sweet potato - 150 gms
(When boiled and mashed should be about 3/4 cup)
Jeera powder - 1/2 tea spoon
Salt - 1/2 table spoon(Adjust accordingly)
Pepper powder - 1/2 tea spoon
Red chilli powder - 1/2 tea spoon
Whole wheat bread - 2 slices
Cheese - 2 tb spoon(grated)
Ghee - 1/2 tea spoon

Procedure:
1. Boil till soft and mash the sweet potato. Add salt,jeera powder, chilli powder and pepper powder to it.
2. Take the bread slice and spread this mixture over it. Place the grated cheese on top of it.
3. Heat the ghee in a pan. Place the bread in it. Now let it cook over low flame for 1-2 minutes, keeping it covered. Take care not to char the bread slice. (I like it better that way though, gee!)

Take it off the stove and into the mouth. The melted cheese and the whole burst of flavors from pepper and chilli, heavenly!

I know these pictures haven't come really well. Don't blame the camera or the toast,it was hungry and impatient me.

And, I do owe you guys something. The round up for this event is due. It will happen really soon. I promise.
