👨🍳 Instruções
- 1
Prepare the sweet potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into uniform 2-3 cm cubes. This ensures even cooking.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Melt the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and slightly foamy, add the curry powder and brown sugar.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 3
Stir the curry powder and brown sugar into the melted butter. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the curry powder.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 4
Add the cubed sweet potatoes to the pot. Stir well to coat each piece evenly with the curry-sugar-butter mixture.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 5
Add about 1/4 cup of water to the pot (optional, but helps create a sauce and prevents sticking). Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and cook for 20-25 minutes.
⏱️ 20-25 minutes - 6
Stir the sweet potatoes occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. Cook until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, but not falling apart.
⏱️ Ongoing during step 5 - 7
Once tender, remove the lid. If there is excess liquid, increase the heat slightly to medium-low and cook uncovered for a few more minutes, stirring gently, until the sauce has thickened slightly and coats the potatoes.
⏱️ 3-5 minutes - 8
Taste and season with salt if desired. Serve hot.
