Sweet Potato Roti / Sweet Potato Indian Flat Bread is an easy, fuss-free, vegan flatbread.
Why Sweet Potato Roti
Roti / Paratha is one of the staple food in North India. Rotis are usually made with Whole wheat flour. They are had with vegetable or Non-Vegetarian curries. You can also use this as wraps with your favorite stuffing. These Rotis make a great choice for kids’ lunch boxes.
I made these Sweet Potato Roti as my way of making my kids eat Sweet Potato. Though I love Sweet Potato, somehow my kids don’t like it. I felt, maybe I haven’t introduced that at a young age. So now, when I give them just boiled sweet potato as I used to have, they don’t like it. I just added that mashed boiled sweet potato to the make their favorite roti. Mom’s idea won. Tada Sweet Potato Roti worked.
How to make Sweet Potato Roti
Making this Sweet Potato Roti is an easy thing. Make these Instant pot sweet potatoes and remove the skin once cooled down. Add all ingredients to the food processor and pulse it at low speed to make it a non-sticky dough. I used this food processor which makes my everyday job easy. Then make small balls out of it and roll. Then cook both sides of the rolled roti. Delicious Sweet Potato Roti is ready to serve. You may also try Cheese Quesadilla with this sweet potato roti.
Frequently asked questions

Yes, you can freeze the dough. That’s what I do. I make the dough in bulk and freeze it in a zip-lock bag in small portions. Thaw it in the refrigerator or countertop before you need to use it.
