Sweet Potato Leaves Kootu

I didn't know until recently that sweet potato leaves are edible. I thought they are poisonous like the regular potato leaves. My chinese friend told me that the leaves are edible and she brought me some sweet potato leaves from the chinese farm market.
She also told me that I can plant the stems after the leaves are removed as we would plant a mint . I removed all the leaves from the stems except the very tiny ones and I planted it deep into the soil leaving the very end tip above the soil.

When I googled and collected information about the leaves, I came to know they are good source of vitamins A and K .

I tried kootu (cooked with Moong in coconut+cumin+green chilli Masala) with the tender leaves. It came out really tasty and Iliked it better than spinach kootu.
