    Notes :
    • You could also use sugar instead of jaggery as caramel sauce.
    • I have cooked the sweet potatoes for 3 whistles. So some pieces were broken and became mashed. But taste wise no compromise. If you want the perfect discs, pressure cook for only one whistle and cook it further with jaggery.
    • You could also cook the sweet potato slices in sauce pan instead of pressure cooking.
    • You can also steam cook the sweet potato and use.
    • Adjust jaggery according to the sweetness of sweet potato.
    • Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
