Grate the sweet potatoes instead of boiling them.

Measure out 2 and 3/4 lbs of sweet potatoes and grate them.

Add 1 cup of flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder to the grated sweet potatoes.

Mix in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 2 teaspoons of mixed spice.

Add 5 cups of coconut milk to the mixture.

Incorporate some nutmeg to taste.

Pour in some evaporated milk that was forgotten earlier.

Mix everything until well combined and the mixture looks perfect.

Pour the mixture into a pot and cover it with a lid turned upside down.

Use an outdoor fire to cook the pudding instead of baking it in an oven.

Add more fire on top of the covered pot to cook evenly.

Check the pudding as it cooks and pour some mixture on top before it's fully done.
