    Stove-top Sweet Potato Pudding

    May 6, 2015 · 2 Comments

    My 153rd recipe, "Stove-top Sweet Potato Pudding", a super easy and healthy dessert. I did not get a chance to try sweet potatoes a lot while I was in Chennai. However after moving to US, RK made me try few dishes made from sweet potato. The Sweet potato pasta bake which I make and sweet potato fries I get at the carnival were 2 of my favorite until today. Whenever RK sees a sweet potato at the supermarket, he would say that my MIL used to make it as a simple yet delicious dessert during his childhood days. She would basically pressure cook it until tender and then mix in some sugar into it. A quick, healthy and wonderful dessert. However I wanted to make my own adaptation of it. I increased the oomph factor by letting the sweet potatoes cook slowly in a milk and saffron mixture. The end result was beyond what I had imagined. The sweet potato pudding was so delicious, creamy, smooth, fluffy. RK was so impressed by the creaminess of the sweet potato pudding and said that this was one of the best desserts' he has tasted so far 😀

    Notes | FAQ

    - Vegans can substitute non-Dairy milk and vegan butter.
    - Adjust the quantity of milk + water based on the size of your sweet potato.
    - While saffron is optional to add, I highly recommend adding for the best flavor.
    - If you need to quicken the process, you can use a pressure cooker. However taste would vary. You can also use a slow cooker instead of stove top.
    - If the liquid evaporates before the sweet potato is fully cooked, add little more water. It is better to over cook than under cook in this recipe.
    - If you feel that the mixture is thick after cooling, you can add 1 or 2 tsp of milk.
