Ingredients
- Sweet potato: 400 gms (scrubbed clean and sliced thin)
- Cashews: ¾ cup (soaked for 4 hours)
- Garlic: 2 cloves
- Rock Salt: to taste
- Lime: 1 no
- Basil: 2-3 tablespoons (chopped)
- Chilli flakes: As required
Method
- Slice the scrubbed sweet potatoes into thin slices. Preferably with the skin if organic. (If you think they are not clean enough you may peel them.)
- Rub some salt on the sweet potato slices and steam in a steamer for about 8-10 minutes, depending on how thin the slices are. They cook very soft and quickly so please check for doneness around 8 minutes.
- Blend the cashews, salt, garlic and juice of one lime with just enough water to get a smooth creamy texture.
- Add chopped basil leaves to the cashew cream.
- Mix the cashew cream to the steamed sweet potatoes slices. Check seasoning.
- Serve warm garnished with a sprig of basil.
Wellcure Tip: The cashew cream may be absorbed, to not make the dish look lumpy so feel free to add some water/ coconut milk to the cashew cream to thin it down.
