RecipeIngredients
  • ½ cup packed boiled and mashed sweet potato (see notes)
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ½ cup cassava flour
  • 1 tbsp arrowroot starch
  • About ½ a cup hot water (in divided portions)
  • 1-2 tbsp avocado oil
  • extra cassava flour for dusting
  • extra avocado oil for pan frying
RecipeInstructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, add the mashed sweet potato (make sure there is no water in the cooked sweet potato before you mash it)
  2. Add the salt, the cassava flour and the arrow root starch.
  3. Add half of the hot water and mix using a wooden spatula. Then add the rest of the water slowly until all the flour gets wet. (You would need a bit less than ½ a cup )
  4. Let cool for a couple mins and then using your hands knead the dough.
  5. Add the oil and knead again until you get a smooth dough. Divide the dough into 4 portions and roll each portion into a ball. Keep the dough balls aside covered.
  6. Heat a cast iron or a non stick pan.
  7. While the pan is heating up, take a dough ball and lightly dust it with cassava flour. Roll it between parchment papers to be about 5 to 6 inches in diameter.
  8. When the pan is hot, lower heat to medium and place the rolled out paratha onto the hot pan. Let cook for 1 minute and then flip using a spatula. Using a small spoon, apply about ¼ tsp oil on the top of the paratha. Let cook for 1 more minute and then flip again. Again apply a little bit of oil on this side as well and let cook for another 30 secs or so until the paratha is slightly crisp and has some brown spots on the outside. Transfer to a serving plate.
  9. Finish cooking the rest of the parathas the same way.
  10. Serve parathas warm as a side to your meal!
Notes
I like to cook the sweet potato in my Instant pot with skin on (Place about 3-4 sweet potatoes in the insert pot with 1 cup water and pressure cook for 10 mins) Then when cool, I remove the skin carefully and then mash it in a bowl. this way there is no additional water in the mashed sweet potato mixture.
Also, you can use either orange fleshed or white fleshed sweet potato in this recipe.
