Serving Plate

Sweet Potato – 500 grams
Desi Ghee – 1 tablespoon
Sugar – 3 tablespoons
Cardamom Powder – ¼ teaspoon
Water – ¼ cup

🥣 Preparation

Step 1: Washing Sweet Potatoes

Wash thoroughly under running water.
Rub gently with hands to remove mud completely.

Step 2: Peeling

Use a peeler and remove thin skin evenly.
Do not remove thick flesh.

Step 3: Cutting

Cut into thick round slices (medium thickness).

👉 Cut and immediately put into water.
(काटते जाना है और पानी में डालते जाना है)

Why Put in Water Immediately?

Prevents discoloration (oxidation).
Removes excess starch.
Keeps slices firm.

Step 4: Wash Again

Transfer to second pot and rinse once more to remove starch.

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Heat Ghee

Heat 1 tablespoon desi ghee in pressure cooker on low flame for 1 minute.

2️⃣ Saute

Add sweet potato slices.
Saute for 2–3 minutes on low flame until slightly yellowish.
Do not over stir.

3️⃣ Add Water

Add ¼ cup water.

4️⃣ Add Sugar

Add 3 tbsp sugar and ¼ tsp cardamom powder.
Mix gently.

🔥 SECRET TIP (Live Step Tip)

👉 After adding sugar, do NOT mix repeatedly. Let sugar melt on its own for 1 minute. This keeps slices intact and gives glossy texture.

5️⃣ Close Lid

🚫 No whistle.

6️⃣ Turn Off Flame

Switch off flame after 5 minutes.
Let pressure settle naturally.
