Serves:3
| Ingredients for Tortilla: |
| 3/4 cup Orange or Purple Sweet Potato, boiled and mashed (approx. 1 medium sweet potato) |
| 1 cup Plain Flour or Whole Wheat Flour |
| 1/2 tablespoon Oil, optional |
| Salt, to taste |
Directions:
Cut 1 sweet potato into 2-3 pieces and place it on a colander.- Take one pot and pour 1 glass of water in it. Place a colander inside it. Cover it with a lid and steam cook sweet potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until fork tender.
- Remove the boiled sweet potatoes and peel them.
- Mash them with a fork when they are a little warm.
- Add 1 cup Whole wheat flour or plain flour, 1/2 tablespoon oil, and salt.
- Make the soft and smooth dough like chapati dough. If required, add water to make the dough.
- Cover the dough and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
- Take the small lemon sized dough, coat it with dry plain flour, and roll it out on a rolling board into a round-shaped tortilla (like roti). If required, sprinkle some dry flour while rolling to prevent sticking.
- Roast the tortilla on the pan or tawa until brown spots appear on both sides. It will take approx. 45 seconds-1 minute on each side over medium flame.
- Stack the tortillas and keep them covered in a cloth or in a container to keep them soft.
Tips and Variations:
- As per the availability, you can use purple sweet potato or orange sweet potato.
- You can microwave (pierced potatoes for 5-7 minutes) or bake the sweet potatoes (at 400 F for 30-40 minutes) instead of steaming.
