Sweet potato pudding recipe
In Urdu, you can say Shakarkandi Kheer
All of us are familiar with sweet potatoes and use them all the time but today I thought to cook a pudding using sweet potatoes. If you want to cook the dessert (Kheer, pudding) quickly with less amount of milk, use one-liter milk with two tablespoons of cornstarch or semolina flour or rice flour (soak flour with a cup of milk until u will use).
You can also boil sweet potatoes and mash them and then use it in Sweet potato pudding recipe; it will save some time but depends on your choice.

Her cooking is amazing and I appreciate her for letting me share this recipe with all of you.
