India has loads of different kinds of breads and rotis some made with floury potatoes. I decided to base these Rotis on my favourite and more body friendly Sweet Potatoes. Delicious to mop up the juices from any curry or just served as is with a delicious chutney – real comfort food Indian style.
Sweet Potato Rotis
750 gr sweet potatoes cooked drained and mashed well
2 green chillies
½ tsp dried red chilli
1 small onion finely chopped
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cuimin
1 tsp ground turmeric
2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
25gr melted butter
150gr gluten free plain flour
De-seed and finely chop the chillies.
Add to the potatoes and stir in all the remaining ingredients except the flour.
Mix well and gradually add the flour until you have a soft dough.
Divide the dough into equal size pieces and roll out to a 5cm circle.
Heat a little oil and gently fry the roti 2 or 3 at a time for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Serve with the chutney.
Coconut and Mint Chutney
75gr unsweetened dessicated coconut or 126 gr grated fresh coconut
200gr plain yoghurt
1 green chilli De-seeded and chopped finely
2 tbsp chopped fresh mint
½ tsp salt
½ tsp sugar
If using desiccated coconut, rehydrate with warm water for about 20 minutes. Squeeze out the water really well and put in a bowl with the rest of the ingredients and set aside.
Those look really great – I’m so impressed by the colour! Wonderful!
Thank you, I was really please with how they turned out.
Fantastic. Anything with sweet potato gets my vote but these look excellent.
Best,
Conor
Thanks Conor, my other half still talkin bout them, they were rather yummy.
