Sweet Potato Chapati
A truly delicious, quick and easy recipe for chapatis.
Makes 6-8 chapatis (depending on the size).
Ingredients
1 cup wholemeal or plain flour (haven't tried it yet with gluten free)
1 medium sweet potato, washed
Optional extras: pinch of sea salt (not required though)
Method:
Boil the sweet potato in its skin (doesn't absorb the water this way) until cooked
In a mixing bowl add the flour and the flesh of the sweet potato (once it has cooled down slightly and you can handle it) and mix together until it forms a dough (using gloves helps avoid sticky fingers
If mixture is too sticky you may need to add more flour until you feel you can roll dough out
Make 6-8 balls
Flour a clean work surface and roll out each ball into a round 'chapati' shape
In a heated frying pan or cast iron skillet (no oil needed), lay out the chapati and cook for a couple minutes before turning over and cooking for a further minute. You will see as it cooks as the bread forms air bubbles.
Enjoy with a curry or lentil dahl and salad!
