Ingredients:
2 - small sweet potatoes peeled cubed cooked and mashed (yielded about 2/3 cup of mashed sweet potato)
2 cups - whole wheat flour (atta)
salt to taste
1/2 tsp - chilli powder (or according to taste)
1/8 tsp - asafoetida (hing)
1/2 tsp - cumin powder
1/2 tsp - coriander powder
1/2 tsp - carom seeds (ajwain)
2 tsp - oil.
Additional flour for dusting.
A few drops of oil or ghee (optional)
Method:
- Place the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes in a microwave safe dish and 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 whole wheat 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 has enough moisture to make the dough.
- If required add more flour or a few drops of water to get the consistency required ( I did not need either flour or water additionally with these proportions the dough came out correctly)
- Keep the dough covered for at least 30 minutes.
- 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 and place the rolled out dough and cook for a few minutes till it small spots begin to appear and then flip it over and cook the other side too until brown little spots appear on the other side.
