Directions
Ginataan (Sweet Potatoes in Coconut Milk),Every Filipino I know loves Ginataan…a hot dessert of sweet potato and yam in sweetened coconut milk. We also add sliced Filipino Saba banana and little Mochiko balls (bilo bilo). Saba is a cooking banana similar to Plaintain, and can be found at Asian markets. Leave out the Saba if you can’t locate it; do not use regular banana as it gets too mushy when cooked. Ginataan is Filipino comfort food at its finest!,Every Filipino I know loves Ginataan…a hot dessert of sweet potato and yam in sweetened coconut milk.
