Frequently asked questions 

1. Do I need to pre-cook the sweet potatoes for the tikka masala?  No, that is not necessary. The cubes will cook in the sauce while it is cooking. 

2. Can I make the puree without butter?  Yes, replace the butter with olive oil or a plant-based alternative for a vegan version. 

3. How do I make my fries extra crispy?  Soak them first in cold water, then dry them well and bake them in a hot oven or air fryer. 

4. Can I freeze the cubes raw?  Yes, that is perfectly fine. Just make sure they are airtight to prevent freezer burn. 

5. How do I use the puree later in the week?  You can serve it as a side dish with fish, meat, or vegetarian stews. Also nice in a casserole.
