Sweet potato kheer recipe with video and stepwise pictures.A rich creamy kheer made with sweet potatoes tastes so delicious.It is also called Shakarkadi ki kheer in Hindi.

Once when I was searching for sweet potato recipes had a chance to see this so thought should give this a try but after that totally forgot until I saw sweet potatoes last week.So I made poriyal for lunch and reserved a small one just for making this kheer and to share it here.

This is the first time I am tasting this kheer and it was so creamy and delicious.The sweet potato adds a creaminess and natural sweetness to the kheer so adjust sugar accordingly.

Simmer until it becomes slightly thick, add sugar at this stage.Simmer until thick and creamy.
Add ghee fried nuts mix well and switch off.It thickens after cooling so switch off accordingly.

Notes

You can even add raw grated sweet potato and cook in milk but takes a little longer time and more milk so I pressure cooked for a whistle then cooked in milk.
You can use regular white sugar instead of cane sugar.
I used cows milk, use any milk which is creamy so that it is rich.
You can add cardamom powder if you like the flavour.
You can add chiroli nuts too.
