Question

Any tanzanian sweets easy make plz include recipe and directions?

Answer 1

KASHATA (Coconut Candy, Tanzania)

Yield: 1 1/2 Ibs.

In a medium-sized heavy iron skillet:

Melt 2 cups SUGAR stirring constantly until it is melted.

While the sugar is still white:

Add: 2 cups MOIST COCONUT (canned)

1 tsp. CINNAMON

1/2 tsp. SALT.

Stir hard for about 30 seconds.

Pour into a 12 x 9-inch pan which has been lined with waxed paper.

Cut into 1 1/2-inch squares or diamonds while still hot.

Cool until the Kashatas are set.

GROUNDNUT KASHATAS may be made by following the directions above but using roasted unsalted peanuts, chopped or whole, instead of coconut. Or you may wish to use half peanuts and half coconut for GROUNDNUT AND COCONUT KASHATAS. In Tanzania Kashatas are a great favorite in the market place and in Tanzanian homes they are served at tea time instead of cakes or cookies.

Sweet Potato Pudding

Ingredients

6 medium-size sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds), peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes

3 cups milk

1 cup heavy cream

½ cup sugar

½ teaspoon saffron, ground

½ teaspoon cardamom, ground (optional)

Procedure:

Bring 1 quart of water to a boil in a saucepan. Drop in the sweet potatoes and cook, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender (can be piered with a fork).

Drain in a colander and return potatoes to the pan. Stir in the milk, cream, sugar, saffron, and cardamom. Heat slowly to boiling over medium-low heat, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon.

Reduce the heat to low, stirring from time to time, and simmer uncovered for about 1 hour, or until the potatoes are reduced to a puree and the mixture is thick enough to hold its shape.  With the back of a spoon, rub the pudding through a fine sieve into a serving bowl.  Serve at room temperature or refrigerate for 2 hours.  Just before serving, sprinkle the top with additional cardamom, if desired.  Serves 6 to 8.
