Start again with butter for the next layer and continue with the sweet potato, sugar, salt and cinnamon until done. Place the lid on the pot and place on low heat on the stove for about 2½ hours.

The dish can also be baked in a moderate oven and will keep for two days in the refrigerator, if needed. Serve with a South African curry.
