I have combined potato with carrot because both these vegetables have similar taste and texture.Both are also slightly sweet. I used Japanese sweet potato in this recipe because it is white in colour distinct from orange colour of the carrot. If I used the orange variety it would look almost like carrot. The white sweet potato contrasts with carrot and give a pleasing appearance.
