Hope you all had a lovely break last week!After all that partying and late nights its back to routine, back to eating healthy!My recipe today involves my favorite Sweet Potatoes but in a Paratha or Indian Flat Bread.For those of you who don’t know what a Paratha is, its a staple bread in most North Indian households enjoyed mainly at breakfast or dinner.It can be triangular,circular or square shaped and its pan fried with some ghee or oil until slightly golden on both sides.You can see my post here on how to make a basic Paratha.I’ve grown up having Parathas for breakfast every morning with a side of a dry vegetable dish usually Potatoes or Cauliflower and some Chutney.Quite the opposite of my lifestyle now, where breakfast consists of Oats most of the time!I do love my Oats too though 🙂
I had some cooked Sweet Potato sitting in my fridge and this seemed like the perfect way to use them!As a parent you’re constantly looking to sneak in some veggies into your kids’ diet and this is a healthy, wholesome meal that fills them and provides much needed energy and nutrition to their growing bodies.The addition of the ground cumin is magical in these and adds so much flavor.All you need to serve with is a simple raita (Yoghurt with some salt and chili powder) for a complete meal.I could just eat them on their own all day 🙂
Never made a flatbread in my life, but am preparing to do a Daniel Fast for lent and looking for recipes. Tried these just now. They are easy and good. Not sure what you mean by a dry vegetable dish (just plain cooked veggie perhaps?), so am eating with roasted red pepper hummus – AMAZING!! Thanks for sharing!
Thankyou!So glad you liked them 🙂 And yes dry vegetable dish meant any cooked vegetable dish 🙂
What delightful flavors for flatbread…they sound seriously delicious!

I love parathas with or without any dry vegetable dish. This is a great recipe especially for me because I sometime add boiled potato to my gluten free paratha dough.

I love the idea of these. I made some parathas before but the addition of the sweet potato sounds great!

I love all of your flatbreads but I especially love these with the sweet potatoes! They look delicious! Hopefully one day mine will look as pretty. I always roll mine out too thick and they aren’t near as delicate as these which I’m sure yields a much better flavor! I’ll keep working on it. Great parathas!

I’ve made many parathas, this is quite unusual…definitely gonna try it out!
I am trying to remember if I have tried this bread. I love that you added sweet potatoes, what a great way to use up your extra potatoes:-) Your parathas looks sooooo delicious! Hugs, Terra
