Directions
- 1Wash and boil the sweet potatoes in enough of water until that they are cooked completely. Peel and chop them into pieces.
- 2In a pan add oil and add mustard seeds and cumin seeds and asfeotida after a minute add the cubed sweet potatoes and saute them add salt and turmeric powder. Mix it . If your potatoes are not very soggy add 1/4 cup water if not leave it as it is. This is because we want a little moisture in the potatoes and not very dry. With a help of a masher mash it up to smooth. Now set aside to cool .
- 3Once cooled add wheat flour into the potatoes and knead it Without adding water as the moisture in the potatoes is enough for knead the dough. In case it is not enough add very little water. Make a smooth dough and set aside for 10 mts.
- 4Now take a small lemon size balls and roll it like a chapati to the desired size and cook it in a hot tawa on both sides. These parathas cook very fast so be extra careful to avoid burning,drizzle ghee and serve hot with yogurt.
