MyMusingsSangSpeak-Pet Puja - Sweet Potato Dessert

Sweet Potato Dessert


Sweet potato (ratali/shakkarkandi) is a food of high nutritional value with lots of vitamins and minerals. It is generally consumed on fasting days in India. Earlier, it used to be just steam boiled and eaten with jaggery and milk. Some people roasted it in the mud oven (chulha) and then ate it directly as well. There are many sweet dishes prepared out of sweet potato like sweet potato puri (ratalyachya gharya), sweet slices (ratalyachya chaktya) and so on. The recipe I am sharing is slightly value added, but I prepare it only once in while. My mother used to make it and I am still to master the delicious taste she dished out.

Ingredients
Sweet Potato – 200 gms
Sugar – ½ cup
Milk (full cream) – 2 cups
Ghee – 2 teaspoons
Method

Wash sweet potatoes well and slice finely. Heat ghee in a pan and fry the sweet potato slices till they turn light golden brown. Now add the milk and sugar and cook till the sweet potato is soft and milk is reduced to at least half. Sweet potato dessert is ready to be served.
