Sweet Potatoes in Coconut Sauce

date 2026 June 12

Peel and wash the sweet potatoes, then cut them into 1 cm thick slices. Wash the chilli, cut it in half lengthways, remove the seeds and chop it finely.

Heat the ghee in a saucepan and briefly fry the chilli in it. Add the remaining spices and the sweet potatoes and fry them.

Mix the coconut milk powder with the hot water and add it to the vegetables along with the coconut flakes. Cook until done, about 5 minutes. If the liquid has boiled away before then, add a little more water.

Finally, season to taste with salt.

Enjoy your meal!
