Notes
Cooking sweet potatoes:I like to cut them in thirds and steam them in my steamer or toss in a bit of oil ( peeled and diced) and bake at 200 C for 15-20 minutes, or until soft and cooked through. I prefer the steaming method for recipes that require the potatoes to be mashed.Cooking barnyard millet:Soak the millets for 20-30 minutes. Rinse well. Combine in a saucepan with water. I use 3 cups of water for 1 cup of millets. Add some salt to the water. Cover and bring it up to a boil. Lower the heat and let cook for 15 minutes or so, until soft and cooked through.
