ROSEMARY AND CUMIN SWEET POTATO MASH

There is no better comfort food than mashed potatoes. Creamy, soft and fluffy mashed potatoes. Now, hear me out, what if I told you you could still get the most out of your favorite comfort food but with sweet potatoes. This recipe was quick and easy and much needed after an intense exam week. Hope you enjoy it as much as we all did over here. Let’s get cooking :

INGREDIENTS:

  • 3 sweet potatoes
  • Tablespoon of finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 Teaspoon of turmeric
  • 1 Teaspoon of cumin seeds
  • 1 Tablespoon of margarine/ butter
  • Salt to taste
  • Half a cup of milk
  • 3 tablespoons of milk cream (optional)

PROCEDURE :

Wash and clean up your sweet potatoes. Next, chop them up roughly and boil in salty water until soft together with the rosemary.

While your sweet potatoes are boiling, we can go ahead and warm up our milk together with the turmeric and cumin seeds. These brings out the flavour of the cumin out more.

Once your potatoes are done and cooked, drain the excess water if there’s any. Proceed to add your margarine, warm milk mixture with the cumin and cream. Mix everything together while mashing up the potatoes. If you like your mashed potatoes a bit on the creamier side, you can double the milk and margarine amounts.

Next, serve up your mashed sweet potatoes and enjoy!

Love, C&C.
