Traditional Sweet Potato Casserole
This is the traditional sweet potato recipe which basically can be used at the time of Christmas and thanks giving. People just loved the taste and simplicity. Its very simple and quick, when i asked my mother about this recipe then she told me she used to eat this when she was younger and was in school.
Actually it should be cooked into a dutch oven but i cooked it into a coal and sand flame to give the effect of the dutch oven beacause i donot have a dutch oven. And i also used bread loaf baking dish instead of normal cake baking dish.
I added chironji(nut) by myself to give my a touch of traditional sweet and now i am feeling its a my type recipe. You can use many things like choco chips, candies, dry fruits, cardamom etc. But i wanted to make it as simple as possible.
You can make this dish when guests are coming at your home and you don't have much time to contribute then this is embarrassingly simple and quite delicious. And my personal review about the recipe is that you can serve this with normal vanilla ice cream also.
