Equipment
- 1 Large Bowl
- 2 Pie Shells for baking
- 1 OTG or Oven
- 1 Pressure Cooker
Ingredients
For the Sweet Potato Filling
- 1 medium sweet potato boiled
- ¾ cup Wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon Desi ghee
- 1.5 tablespoon sugar
- 1.5 teaspoon cinnamon and cardamom powder
- 1 tablespoon milkmaid optional
- 1-2 tablespoon milk can replace with vegan milk
For the wheat Pie crust
- 1 tablespoon desi ghee
- ¾ cup wheat flour
- a pinch baking soda or powder optional
- a pinch salt
- 3-5 tablespoon water for kneading
Instructions
- Wash sweet potato under tap. Roughly chop in two-three chunks depending upon the size. Boil for 2 whistles on full and simmer for 2-3 min.
- In the meantime, we may prepare the pie/ tart shells. I have used wheat flour to make the dough. The dough shall not be loose like bread rather slightly stiff one like poori or else the pie wont take the shape. Take wheat flour. Add desi ghee (1.5tbsp), little salt, baking powder and knead using water little by little.
- Gradually the dough gets collected.
- It becomes one complete ball. Cover it with a cloth or lid in a bowl.
- By now, the cooker must have cooled off. Take out the boiled sweet potato. peel it off.
- Blend it using a fork in a large bowl.
- Add spices and sugar and mix well.
- Add desi ghee. Here Vegans can add any oil.
- As you must have noticed its dry. For the pie, we wish a smooth consistency. I have added Dairy milk little by little. Keep adding and mixing so that it doesn't become too runny. Around 1-2 tablespoon was okay for me.Vegans can add coconut milk or any other substitute.
- Add 1 tablespoon of Milkmaid. This is optional and one may just add more of the milk.
- Batter looks smooth
- Our dough must be ready. Divide it into equal parts and Place one part in each of the tart shell. If you dont have any, you may use any baking bowl. Stick the dough to the edges with hand movements and create a space for the filling along.
- I had baked the empty pie shells for 2-3 min in OTG at 200 degrees. Mine is old OTG and works quickly. You may skip this step if you want a soft crust.
- Add the fillings to the pie-shells. Bake them for 10 min at 200 degrees in OTG. You may do the knife-clean test.
- They look so drooling!!
- Enjoy your evening with these delicious sweet potato pie!!
Notes
- Blind Baking of the wheat tart may need a quick check or else the tart would be a bit hard. If you wish to have a soft and juicy crust, you may skip the bling baking and bake both tart and filling together.
- The filling should not be runny or else the bottom of the pie would be very soggy.
- I have added little ghee to the wheat dough to make it smooth. Since wheat flour is dense, the crust would be crunchy. If you like creamy texture, add more ghee while kneading the dough.
- The wheat dough for the crust shall not be loose or else the crust would not hold a proper shape. You may keep dough at rest for at least 15 min. Making it a day before is also good.
