Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Purple Sweet Potatoes (steamed and mashed)
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • Water (approximately 1/4 cup, adjust as needed)
  • 1 tablespoon Oil or Ghee

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Purple Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the purple sweet potatoes, then steam or boil them until soft. Allow to cool slightly before mashing to a smooth consistency.
  2. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the mashed purple sweet potatoes, flour, and salt. Gradually add water while kneading until a smooth and pliable dough forms. Drizzle in the oil or ghee and knead again to integrate.
  3. Divide and Roll Out: Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. Lightly dust your work surface with flour, then roll each ball into a thin, round disc resembling traditional roti.
  4. Cook the Roti: Heat a skillet or tava over medium heat. Cook each roti for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until golden spots appear, flipping carefully to ensure even cooking without burning.
  5. Serve Warm: Brush the cooked rotis with ghee or butter for extra flavor and serve immediately for the best texture and taste.

Notes

  • Use slightly dry hands when kneading to avoid sticky dough.
  • Adjust flour quantity based on moisture content of the sweet potatoes for a dough that’s soft but manageable.
  • Roll the dough evenly to ensure uniform cooking and slight puffing.
  • Cook on medium heat to develop golden spots without burning.
  • Let the dough rest for 15-20 minutes after kneading to relax gluten, making rolling easier.
