A traditional recipe made on Maundy Thursday. This Sweet Potato has coconut milk and is sweetened with jaggery. Quick and Easy to prepare, this dessert is delicious too.
Ingredients
- ½ kg Sweet Potatoes wash & cut into 1 cms slices
- 1 whole Coconut Extract 1 cup thick milk & 3 cups thin milk
- 1 cup Sago/Sabudana soaked for 1 hour
- 350 gram Jaggery
- 1 tsp Cardamom Powder
- ½ tsp Salt
Instructions
- Into a large vessel add the sliced sweet potatoes and the thin coconut milk. Place on medium heat and cook till the sweet potatoes are half done. Add salt.
- Now drain and add the sago/sabudana and cook till the sago turns transparent.
- When the sago is transparent add the jaggery and cook till the jaggery melts.
- Add cardamom powder and simmer for one to two minutes and switch off the flame.
Notes
- I added organic jaggery hence the colour is a little darker. Adjust jaggery to suit your taste.
- Do not overcook, else the potatoes will break.
