The first thing that you'll notice about the sweet-potato roti is that they are super soft & chewy. And of-course, goes without saying, these rotis are slightly on the sweeter side due to the nature of the vegetable.

Basic Info
Prep time - 30 mins - 1 hr (includes resting time)
Cook time - 30 mins
Serves - 8-10 roti
Ingredients
Whole wheat flour - 2 cups
Sweet potato - 1 large, peeled and cubed
Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Red chilli powder - 1 tsp
Hing - 1/2 tsp
Salt - 1 tsp (or) to taste
Oil - 2 tsp
Method
Cook sweet potatoes in boiling water until soft. Let it cool and mash it up really well without any lumps.
Add rest of the ingredients and knead until you get a soft & pliable dough. Knead for atleast 15 mins and set aside for 20 mins. Add water (only if needed) while kneading the dough.
Grease your hands and rolling board with oil. Take about 1/4 cup of dough and roll it into a ball. Use a rolling-pin or even hands, whichever you prefer and flatten the ball into thin circle. Go as thin as you could go.
Heat a griddle and when hot, place the flattened roti on the griddle and cook it until brown spots appear on both the sides. Remove from heat and store it in a covered container.
Serve warm with any spicy side of your choice.
