Instructions

Prepare the Kumala

Peel the kumala (sweet potatoes) and cut them into large chunks.

Place the kumala in a large pot and cover with water.

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the kumala are tender, about 20-25 minutes.

Drain the kumala and return them to the pot.

Mash the Kumala

Add the butter, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt to the pot with the kumala.

Mash the kumala with a potato masher or fork until smooth. For a creamier texture, you can add coconut milk and continue mashing until well combined.

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
