Description
Soft and chewy Indian whole-wheat flatbreads made with sweet-potatoes. Though lightly spiced, these rotis are on the sweeter side due to the nature of the vegetable. Perfect for serving with any spicy Indian curries.

- Whole wheat flour – 2 cups
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
- Cumin seeds – 1 tsp
- Red chilli powder – 1 tsp
