    Ingredients

    • 1 medium sized sweet potato
    • 3/4 to 1 cup water
    • a very tiny pinch turmeric powder (optional)

    Instructions

    • Trim the edges first then scrap the skin. Cut into round slices.
    • Rinse it well, then transfer it to a sauce pan. Add water.
    • Let it cook in low flame. Cook covered until it becomes soft and mushy.
    • Do not drain the water. Let it cool down for a while.
    • Puree it to a fine or coarse paste according to your preference. I made it semi fine. I used my blender to puree it, you can use mixie too. Feed Sweet Potato puree for babies immediately.

    Notes

    • Sweet potatoes can be steamed / baked too. You can even pressure cook them with skin for about 2-3 whistles, then remove the skin and puree it.
    • Do not drain the water after cooking. Use that water to make the puree.
    • The texture can vary according to your preference. You can blend using mixie for a fine puree, for semi fine use a blender and you can hand mash it too.
    • Choose a fresh, firm sweet potato
    • Red variety is preferred as its more sweeter.
    • After cutting the sweet potato immediately add it to water to avoid them from turning dull/black.
    • I added a pinch of homemade turmeric powder just to avoid dull color and amma insisted to add as it gives a mild flavour to the puree. But you can skip it too.
