Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Peel and chop the sweet potato into cubes. Steam or boil until fork-tender. Drain and mash until smooth. Let it cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed sweet potato, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Add olive oil and gradually mix in water to form a soft, pliable dough. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it’s too dry, add a bit more water.
Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Cover the dough with a damp kitchen towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
On a floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out each ball into a thin, round chapati, about 8-10 inches in diameter.
Heat a dry non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat. Place a rolled chapati on the hot skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubbles form and the underside is lightly browned.
Flip the chapati and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula. Repeat for the remaining chapatis.
Serve warm as-is or with your favorite curry or chutney.
