Caramelized sweet potatoes
Ingredients
- 2-3 Sweet Potatoes (I used white)
- 4-5 tbsp Sugar/Honey
- 2 tbsp ghee/butter/clarified butter/vegan butter (Any one)
Instructions
- Peel of the sweet potatoes and place them in water. The colour won't turn black in water.
- Now dice them in slices and still keep in cold water. I used a food processor to dice them.
- In a pan heat 2 tbsp of clarified butter.
- Add the sliced sweet potatoes (without water) to it and toss them.
- Now cover the pan with a lid for a few minutes. Allow the sweet potatoes to cook. Give it a check after a few minutes and stir it a couple of times.
- They are fully cooked when the slice can get easily smashed.
- Now add 4-5 tbsp of sugar /brown sugar to it and stir. (2-3 tbsp of honey if not using sugar).
- Now allow it to cook without the lid for 1-2 minutes. Overcooking will make it gooey and stretchy.
- After switch off the gas flame and add a pinch of cardamom powder to it. Add a few saffron sticks to garnish. The pure aroma of saffron and cardamom will turn your dish into a rich dessert or an appetizer.
