Steps

15 minutes

1

Wash and clean the root. Peel the skin and slice them roughly. Add ghee to a pan and heat. Roast the potatoes for 3-5 minutes till they look lightly golden.
2

Add milk with it's cream and cook by mixing in intervals.
3

The milk will start to reduce and also sweet potatoes will soften.
4

Add brown sugar or jaggery, let it melt completely. Mostly people remove the payasam from heat, after reaching this consistency.
5

But I like it reduced till it looks like a halwa. You can add cardamom powder, but it's optional. Sweet potatoes has it's own earthy flavor, so no extra flavoring is required.

Serve warm after any meal.
