Sweet Potatoes Futari

There are many versions of Futari in Tanzania, Sweet potatoes Futari is my favorite. This is a very simple recipe but the mixture of coconut, sweet potatoes and cardamom creates a unique flavor. Your kids will love this.

Make this as a side dish for Thanks giving dinner, have something different, have Tanzania Flavor at your Table for thanks giving.
