My own creative idea, Giving respect to the super food sweet potato, with its high nutritional values and health benefits.
Steps
- 1
Wash and cut the edges of cucumbers, then cut it into half vertically, then cut it into slices(around 2mm), plate it using a plating tool or any round shaped plate or saucer. While plating just pull the alternative Slices of cucumber using a knife. When the full circle is completed remove the centre plate with the help of a knife

This is how it looked when the circle is completed and plate is removed
- 3
Blanch the green peas by putting it into a boiling water For 4 mins(little salt and pepper added in the water while boiling) and then immediately transferring it into a ice cold water.Can transfer it into a room temperature water too if ice water is not available. (Hope you all know blanching is done so that it stops from further cooking and retains much of the essential nutrients in the vegetable), sorry couldn't take a picture of blanching

Cleanly wash the sweet potato and grate it with the help of a grater, with the skin or without the skin the option is yours, but with the skin you are adding more nutrients into the dish. Here I have to mention, the method I am preparing is to protect many of the nutrients, which we loose when we boil, bake or roast a sweet potato.

On a hot pan add butter, olive oil, mustard seeds, onion, garlic powder and saute it till the onion becomes soft, add shishito pepper and saute it for an other minute, here I have added shishito pepper because it is just 5 to 10 % hot compared to the green chillies, intention is that the hot flavour of chilli not to over power the sweet flavour of the sweet potato. If you don't have shishito peppers, use just a quarter of chilli finely chopped.

Now add the grated Sweet potato, mix and saute it for not more than 2 mins adding the salt to taste(lesser the better,I have used just a half teaspoon), add the Blanched peas into it, mix and saute it for another minute, switch of the flame and add chopped coriander leaves, and chopped dill leaves and give it a mix.

Plate the sauteed sweet potato inside of the cucumber in the plate. Garnish it with a cherry tomato cut into a flower shape. And just before serving you can sprinkle some salt and pepper over the sliced cucumbers.
Here I have avoided the lime because I didn't want it to overpower the sweetness of the sweet potato, but you can add if required not more than 1/4 to half teaspoon of lime into the sauteed mix. - 8
Here the overall cooking time of sweet potato is not more than 3 to 4 mins(in the process retaining many of its nutrients), when I mention the cooking time to be 40mins in the beginning,it's all cutting, grating, sauteing and plating time,😊👍, you can enjoy this salad both warm as well as cold.
