If you are going to have a dessert that has butter and sugar, you might as well have this dessert. At least the other half of the dessert (the sweet potato) is nutritious. Sweet potatoes pack more nutrition than most other vegetables. They are high in fibre, protein, and complex carbohydrates. They are also delicious and versatile. The type that was grown in Somalia was the purple skin, white flesh variety. It is great in both savoury and sweet dishes.
This dessert is one of our favourites and it can be served either warm or at room temperature. Make sure you have other people to share it with since it is very easy to overindulge, and be fair when portioning out the caramelized bits at the bottom of the pan. A small portion at the end of a meal will provide for a warm and comforting dessert.
Si vous craquez pour les desserts au beurre et au sucre, c’est celui-ci qu’il vous faut. Au moins l’autre moitié du dessert (la patate douce) est nutritive. Les patates douces possèdent plus de qualités nutritives que la plupart des autres légumes. Elles ont des fibres, des protéines, et des glucides. En plus, elles sont délicieuses et versatiles. La variété qui était cultivée en Somalie était celle à peau violette et chair blanche. Elle est parfaite aussi bien pour les plats salés que sucrés.
Ce dessert est un de nos favoris et il peut être servi chaud ou à température ambiante. Assurez-vous d’avoir d’autres personnes avec vous pour le partager car il est très facile d’en abuser, et soyez équitable avec les morceaux caramélisés du fond de la casserole. Une petite portion à la fin d’un repas fera un dessert chaud et réconfortant.

Placer les tranches de patates, le sucre, l’eau, et la cardamome dans un faitout chauffé à feu moyen/fort. Couvrir le faitout et cuire pendant 45 minutes environ ou jusqu’à ce que les patates deviennent translucides et que la sauce épaississe.
I bought some sweet Potato 2days ago. I was thinking in 2 days how can I cook differently this time. well, now I dont have to think any more
Let us know how it went, and make sure you share.
You can add instead of water, cocunut milk and and a bit of shredded cocunut. My kids love it.
That is a good variation. We have tried coconut milk with yams and it is great. Thanks for the comment.
The burnt ones at the bottom of the pan look mouth watering. Somehow in my family thats what everyone fights over!
Yes, those are the best!

Salaamu alaykum sister. Should I put enough water to cover the potatoes a bit and let it boil along? And how much sugar and butter should I put in?
Wa’alaikum As-salam Warahmtullahi Wabarakatuh,
No need to add extra water. Just use the quantities mentioned in the recipe. The sugar and butter are also mentioned in the ingredients.
