Do like and subscribe for more delish recipes ;)
Here's the written recipe:
Ingredients:
750 ml coconut milk
250 g chopped jaggery
500 g sliced sweet potatoes
1/2 tsp cardamom powder
1/4 tsp nutmeg powder
Method:
Add the chopped jaggery to the coconut milk and mash with a spoon.
Keep the vessel on stove on low flame and stir till the jaggery dissolves completely and then switch off the flame.
Strain in another bowl through a fine strainer to remove any particles.
Keep on medium-low flame on stove and let come to a boil.
Then stir and add in the sweet potato and wait for 5 minutes till the mixture is at a continuous boil.
Add in the cardamom powder and the nutmeg powder and stir them in.
Let the dessert cook on medium flame till the sweet potato cooks completely and then switch off the flame.
Serve hot or cold from the fridge!
My Notes:
If you don't have jaggery, you can substitute with brown sugar.
Use coconut milk of thin to medium consistency depending on your preferency. If you like really thick and creamy rich desserts then you can use thick as well.
This dessert gets creamy after refrigerating and its just so good!

Ingredients:
Asparagus - 1 lb, cut into 1/2 inch pieces (Keep spears intact)

Whole Black Peppercorns - 1/2 tsp
Garlic - 6 large cloves, sliced
Green Chilies - to taste, chopped
Onion - 1 medium, sliced thin
Red Bell Pepper - 1/2, cubed
Salt - to taste
Method:
1. In a pot with a tight fitting lid, heat Ghee.
2. Add Cumin Seeds and allow them to sizzle for a few seconds.
3. Add Cinnamon Stick, Bay Leaf, Whole Cloves, Black Cardamom, Green Cardamom and Whole Black Peppercorns. Saute for 30 seconds.
4. Add Garlic and Green Chilies and allow Garlic to brown lightly.
5. Add Onions and a little Salt and stir fry them on high heat until lightly caramelized.
6. Add chopped Asparagus and toss to coat in oil.
