purple sweet potato roti (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Dough Ingredients

01 - 1 medium purple sweet potato, boiled and mashed (about 1 cup)

02 - 1 cup whole wheat flour

03 - 1/4 cup almond flour or additional whole wheat flour

04 - 2 tablespoons flax meal (optional)

05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)

06 - 2 tablespoons water (if needed)

07 - 1 teaspoon oil for the dough

08 - Oil for cooking rotis

# Instructions:

01 - Wash and chop the purple sweet potato into 3 parts. Place it in a bowl safe for use in an Instant Pot or a steamer basket. Add 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot insert and place the trivet and sweet potato bowl on the trivet. Pressure cook in manual mode for 15 minutes and allow natural pressure release (NPR). Once cooked, peel the skin and mash the potato with a fork.

02 - While the mashed sweet potato is still hot, add whole wheat flour, almond flour, and flax meal. Mix everything together until it forms a dough. If needed, add 2 tablespoons of water to achieve the right consistency and knead into a ball. Apply 1 teaspoon of oil to the dough to prevent drying, cover the dough with a damp towel, and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.

03 - Knead the dough with your palms and fingers for five minutes. Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. Dust a working surface and the dough ball with flour, then roll each ball into a thin, circular roti using a rolling pin.

04 - Heat a tawa or griddle on medium-high heat. When the griddle is hot, dust off excess flour from the rolled roti and place it on the hot surface. Cook on each side for 15-20 seconds, flipping as needed. Optionally apply oil and cook both sides until brown spots appear.

# Notes:

01 - You can use any type of sweet potatoes in this recipe.

02 - Boiling sweet potatoes in a regular pot instead of an Instant Pot is also an option.

03 - Mixing the dough while the sweet potato is still hot results in the softest rotis.

04 - Adding almond flour and flax meal is optional and can be omitted.

05 - If serving the rotis without curry or as a tortilla, consider adding salt for flavor.
