Sweet Potato Roti

on Feb 12, 2009
I have made quite a few variations of these, but this is the one that I have finally decided to make it regular. I got this one from a gal pal of mine way before during my college days when she bought them over for lunch. I have made few teeny weeny changes to her recipe. The combination of ingredients which are not many plays well together and it is not overly sweet nor sober tasting. Give it a try, you will start singing its praises too.
Basic Information
Prep Time: 30 min to 1 hour
Cook Time: Under 30 min
Serves: 3 people
Yield: Around 10 rotis
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and chopped
- About 2 cups of whole wheat flour
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- salt to taste
- 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
Method
1
Cook the sweet potatoes in some water until soft.
2
Grind it with a food processor until mushy.
3
Add the rest of the ingredients and make into a soft pliable dough.
4
Divide into small balls
5
Press it down with the palm of your hands and roll it thin flatbread
6
Cook it with little butter (or oil for less calories) until brown
7
Turn the other side and cook likewise.

WOW These rotis look fantastic! Will definitely give them a try. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe.
Hi…
After much procrastination and drooling over it, finally made it. I have never eaten it so dont know what it tastes like anyway. I got a mix of sweet potato and squash. Used jaggery instead of sugar. And served it with Tomato Kadhi and Achari Karela. The other half was over the moon… And guess who did the dishes!!
LOL! Good food is THE best way to a man’s heart
I am glad to see you created an awesome meal 
Could you clarify on what constitutes a large sweet potato? I tried making these just now with my idea of a large sweet potato and ended up needing to almost double the amount of flour I used.
Will add in metric measurement next time I make it. Thanks for letting me know –DK
Yes, these rotis are lovely , my favourite, too. My mom used to make sweet potato puris, also adding jaggery.
Talking of indian flatbreads, have you tried the BEST of them all- the Methi theplas? I make with mixed wholegrain flour- Wheat, chana and bajra. Add lots of finely chopped methi leaves, little oil, salt, turmeric powder, ginger-garlic-green chilly paste,sesame seeds, ajwain seeds, little sugar OR half a mashed ripe banana. Knead with some dahi to make soft dough. Roll and cook on a tawa using little oil.
Tastes great with dahi/ raita/ potato sabji/ butter/ on its own. I always make double the quantity required, to enjoy the leftover with masala chai next morning.:)
Dill/ pudina theplas are also delicious.
Just a little correction to the part whre you say “Cook it with little butter (or oil for less calories) until brown”.
Butter contains about 80% fat, and the rest of it is milk solids and stuff. Oil is 100 % fat. So for less calories you’d use butter, not oil.
Most of the fat in butter is saturated, many vegetable oils contain mostly mono- or polyunsaturated oils. What is the health effect of these is currently under debate.
This recipe was great! I stumbled onto your site for the first time today – looking for something to cook with sweet potatoes in an apartment without an oven. I filled them with sauteed spinach with a hint of garlic – I’ll change up the topping / side dish next time.
