Caramelized Sweet Potato
Preparation Time : 5 Minutes
Serves : 2

Ingredients:

  1. 1 medium big Sweet Potato ( I bought the Purplish colored one ) sliced into thin wafer thin slices.
  2. 1/2 cup Jaggery or to your taste
  3. 2 TSP Ghee or purified butter
  4. couple of pinches of Cardamom powder
Procedure:
  1. In a heavy base pan pour Ghee and let it melt.
  2. Once melted add the slices to it.
  3. Give a gentle stir 2-3 times and cover the pan with lid on slow flame for 3-4 min.
  4. Open the lid and give a stir and close again for another 4-5 min and cook on the slow flame only.
  5. See if the slices are cooked, add jaggery to to the pan.
  6. Slowly the jaggery will melt and you need to keep stirring so that it wont burn.
  7. Cover with lid again and cook for 3-4 min or until slices are well cooked.
  8. When cooked,switch off the hob and add cardamom powder and mix well.
  9. Serve hot.
Do not cook on high flame to avoid slices getting burnt or Jaggery getting burnt.
