RecipeIngredients
  • 1 cup cassava flour
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive olive oil
  • 1 cup hot boiling water
  • 1 - 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 White Sweet Potato (boiled whole and then peeled and mashed about 2 cups)
  • About 3-4 tbsp coconut oil or ghee (optional; use coconut oil for AIP)
  • cinnamon powder for topping (optional)
  • raw honey, maple syrup or coconut sugar for topping (optional)
RecipeInstructions
For making dough: You can make the dough using any of the two methods described below.
Method 1: In a large mixing bowl, add the cassava flour, sea salt and the olive oil. Place a pot or kettle of water to boil and as soon as it starts boiling, turn heat off and add ½ a cup of this hot water into the bowl. Mix it with the flour using a spoon and then pour ½ cup more of the hot water and mix with the spoon until all the flour looks wet. Now using your hands form a dough. Add the extra oil to make the dough really smooth. Cover the dough by placing plastic wrap on the top of the bowl.
Method2: In a sauce pan, place the 1 cup water and place it to heat on stove. Add the oil and the salt. As soon as the water begins to boil, turn heat off. Then add ½ a cup of the cassava flour and stir well to mix with the hot water. Then add the other ½ cup f cassava flour and again stir with a spoon to mix well to form a dough like consistency (all flour should be wet). Take off from the stove and let cool for a couple mins. Then knead using your hands to form a smooth dough adding 1 or 2 tsps more of olive oil.
To make the stuffed parathas:
  1. Place a non stick or cast iron pan on stove to heat.
  2. Take a golf ball size of dough and flatten it with your hands to form a round shape. Place on parchment paper and dust with cassava flour. Roll slightly to form small flattened circle (don't roll too much).
  3. Now place 1 tbsp of the mashed sweet potato in the center of the round and bring all the ends of the dough towards the center to enclose the stuffing inside (basically cover the stuffing completely with the dough).
  4. Now dust more flour on top and roll very gently to form a ⅚ inches round shape.
  5. Place this paratha on the hot pan and cook on medium heat for about 3 mins on each side. Add coconut oil or ghee on top to make parathas crispy.
  6. Continue making the rest of the parathas the same way!
  7. Serve parathas warm as is or sprinkle with cinnamon and / or some raw honey or coconut sugar on top!
Notes
I prefer using white sweet potato for this recipe however you can use regular yellow sweet potato too. Just make sure to cook it with the skin on and then wipe off any excess water before peeling and mashing it. The mashed sweet potato needs to be not 'too wet' otherwise you will have trouble rolling the flatbread.
