copy2: Spicy sweet potato stuffed croissant

Try saying the title a few times :-) This recipe, I totally stumbled upon, because I was craving for the vegetable puffs, an old favorite which a Malayalee vendor used to bring to our doorstep in his little TOP box balanced behind his bicycle - The onions were cut too big and long and the potatoes sometimes not cooked enough and often too the turmeric was sort of raw and smelt funny - Amma always wondered why we ever wanted to eat that c---p, but she indulged us nevertheless, just because she was just the best mom! But obviously there was something to those vegetable puffs that left an indelible impression on me - Cravings being what they are during pregnancy, I decided I wanted vegetable puffs and I wanted it now - as in 21/2 years ago -No potatoes at home - that is the most unusual situation - No carrots and peas either - I am talking frozen mix - The one thing that was readily available was sweet potatoes and I kinda balked at it before realizing that was better than no puff at all - the rest is history - Everybody, baby in belly included loved it so well, it became a standard fall back snack in out home - so check it out - very simple and healthy if you use reduced fat croissant crescents from Pillsbury - not endorsing the company or anything ...
