How to cook Sakkaraivalli Kilangu Sweet Potato

July 4, 2012 By Sangeetha Priya 3 Comments

 

Here in US, the sweet potato we get in stores is entirely different from our ‘sakkaraivalli kilangu.’ So, I was longing for our ‘sakkaraivalli kilangu.’ One day, when we went to a Korean supermarket, I saw this sweet potato in huge quantity with the name of Korean yam or Korean sweet potato. I jumped in joy and purchased a pound for home. People like me who are looking for sakkaraivalli kilangu can try this sweet potato variety. So I thought of sharing it as a post in blog for you all. It tasted exactly like South Indian ‘sarkaraivalli kilangu,’ and I always prefer having this kilangu with ghee and sugar. Recently I purchased this variety as “Japanese sweet potato” in an Indian store near by.

How to cook in Pressure Cooker

Soak the sweet potatoes in water for a few minutes and rinse well. In a pressure cooker, add enough water to cover the potatoes. Add a pinch of salt and pressure cook for 2 whistles. If the sweet potatoes are small in size, 1 whistle is fine; otherwise, they may turn mushy.

How to cook in Instant Pot

In Instant pot, add enough water and sweet potatoes. In Pressure cook mode cook it for 8 minutes and release the pressure after 5 minutes otherwise they turn mushy.
