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.
Ingredients
1 cup = 237 mL · 1 Tbsp = 15 mL · 1 tsp = 5 mL. All are level measurements.
Method
Tap a step to mark it done.
Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them about ¼ inch thick.
Place the sliced potatoes, sugar, water, and cardamom in a pot set on medium high heat. Cover the pot and cook for about 45 minutes or until the potatoes become translucent and the sauce thickens.

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.
Salam my dear sister and Ramadan Kareem to you and your family. I would love to request a dish and it’s somali bataati(bataato), I’d apperciate it if you did a tutorial on that and espically its bisbaas(hot sauce). Have a great Ramadan Sister and I’ll be looking forward to seeing the tutorial inshallah.
Wacalaykum assalaam waraxmatullaahi wabarakaatuh,
It is on the list and we hope to post it in the near future. Thank you for your comment and Ramadan karim.
