With bag full of sweet potato in my cupboard and a craving for something sweet and delicious I decided to make carrot halva sweet potato style.....
A delicious dessert served warm or cold...
2 cups of finely grated sweet potato
13/4 cup to 2cups of milk (i used lactose free milk but you can use full fat, skimmed, soy, almond,oat or rice milk)
1 to 2 tbs of ghee
Sugar to taste (Sweet potatos are quite sweet in flavour so adjust the sweetness till you get your desired sweetness) I used about a quater cup of raw sugar.
2 to 3 Cardomon crushed (again adjust to your desires)
Additional add roasted unsalted cashews, sultanas, nuts etc whatever you like)
WHAT YOU DO:
1. Heat pan and melt ghee. Add the grated sweet potato and toss in the ghee and cook for 5 mins.
2. Add the milk and sugar and continue to cook on low heat till sweet potato is tender and cooked and the milk has been absorbed. Adjusting the sugar as the sweet potato is cooking.
3. Add the desired additions and serve warm or cold anytime ....
