Ingredients

For the sauce

  • 2 whole habanero peppers (stemmed and deseeded)
  • 1/4 cup raw cashew nuts
  • Pinch of dried garlic
  • 1/2 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened dairy free milk

Others

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp minced fresh garlic
  • 2 cups peeled and chopped sweet potatoes
  • 3/4 tsp salt or as per taste
  • 1/4 tsp brown sugar

Instructions

  • In a blender combine all the ingredients of the sauce and blend it until smooth and creamy. Keep it aside.
  • Heat oil in a nonstick pan and add minced garlic to it. Immediately add sweet potatoes and let it cook on a medium flame until soft.
  • Once the sweet potatoes are softened pour the habanero sauce on it in the same pan and season with salt and sugar.
  • Mix gently, and let it cook for a minute or until the first boil ( Do not overcook the sauce or it will start drying up).
  • Serve immediately with steamed rice.

Notes

  • This entrée is very spicy so feel free to add more sugar and or salt as per your palate.
  • If you want more spicy you may use 3 habanero peppers instead of 2 depending on your palate. be careful while handling these peppers. I would highly recommend you to wear gloves when handling them.
  • Preferably cashew milk should be used but coconut milk or any dairy free milk can be used.
  • If you make this entree way ahead of time, the sauce might thicken. a bit. Then,  just before serving simply add little more dairy free milk according to your choice of consistency adjust the salt and sugar and serve warm. (Do not cook at this point, just warm it a bit).
