How to Make Sweet Potato Roti with wheat flour

• Place the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes in a microwave safe dish. Cook on high in the microwave for a couple of minutes or until soft.
• Mix the sweet potatoes once or twice while it is getting cooked. Cool slightly and mash until soft and pulpy and keep aside.
• In a large bowl, mix together wholewheat flour and all other spices and salt.
• Add the mashed sweet potatoes to this and knead into a soft dough.
• Add oil and continue to knead until the dough is soft and not sticky.
• There is no need to add water as the mashed sweet potatoes have enough moisture to make the dough.
• If required, add more flour or a few drops of water to get the consistency required.
• Keep the dough covered for at least 30 mins.
• Divide the dough into even lemon sized balls. Using flour for dusting roll them out evenly as thin as you like.
• Heat a griddle/ flat pan, place the rolled out dough and cook for a few minutes till its small spots begin to appear. Then flip it over and cook the other side too until brown little spots appear on the other side.
