Ingredients
  

For the dough:

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Water

For the filling:

  • 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes, boiled and mashed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon amchur (dried mango powder)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add enough water to make a smooth and pliable dough. Knead for 5-10 minutes, then cover and set aside for 20-30 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the mashed sweet potato, salt, red chili powder, cumin powder, garam masala, amchur, and chopped coriander.
  • Divide the dough into equal-sized balls and roll out each ball into a circle.
  • Place a spoonful of the sweet potato mixture in the center of each circle.
  • Gather the edges of the circle together and pinch them closed to encase the filling.
  • Roll out each stuffed ball into a flat disc, about 6-7 inches in diameter.
  • Heat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place a paratha on the griddle and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
  • Repeat with the remaining parathas.
  • Serve hot with your favorite chutney or yogurt.

Notes

  • Be sure to boil the sweet potatoes until they are soft and mashable.
  • Don't overstuff the parathas, or they may break open during cooking.
  • Use a non-stick pan or griddle for best results.
  • To save time, you can prepare the dough and filling in advance and store them in the refrigerator until ready to use.
