Sweet Potato Sweet ~ Sweet Potato Kheer

1. Contributor: Sravanthi Suresh

Sweet potato ni wah chesi peel chesi cut them into small cubes

in a non-stick pan add some ghee and fry these cubes for some time... avvi half soft ayyka add milk as required to boil the cubes and then when the cubes are fully cooked and soft add sugar as per your taste and at last you can add cashew powder (optional) to give it a rich creamy texture... boil it till sugar is melted and the whole sweet becomes a little thicker..

i do the sweet as per my requirement with sugar as i prefer less sugar in sweets (contradicting i know)

naaku assallu idea ledhu measurements... ammani adigi cheptha... amma cheppey measurements tho i usally think its over sweet so deeniki mathram trial and error types lo vestha... if you are planning to give it to your kid then add honey instead of sugar

For kids:
boil sweet potato in pressure cooker and then cut into pieces then milk to a pan, milk boil ayyeppudu add boiled and cut sweet potato pieces... then add honey and mix well... so simple and its good for kids if its honey too... quantity koncham ey ayithey you can give her with sugar as well
