Description
Sweet potato balls . A simple 3 ingredient wonder that I learnt at my mother – in – laws place . This dish is uncomplicated and ready in a few minutes . At mom’s place we mix boiled , peeled and mashed sweet potatoes with thick coconut milk and sugar to a porridge consistency or just have boiled and peeled sweet potatoes as it is . The natural sweetness and aroma of the sweet potato just melts you . These sweet potatoes are seldom eaten in any other form except boiled . While sweet potatoes are in season my home is over loaded with them from our farm . Once I did take a huge box full of these balls to my moms place . We ended up having a bunch of cousins for dinner . So these sweet potato balls also were served at the table . To my surprise my cousin Ahmed shah( shabu’s ) wife zarina loved it a lot and its my boy afzar’s favourite snack too . This pucker – inducing heavenly sweet ball took centre stage on the table . This absolutely addictive drool worthy dessert snack is ridiculously easy to make With very little effort . It’s a must try dish for beginners .
