The Sweet Potato Roti is an off-beat roti with the pleasant flavour of sweet potatoes, perked up with spice powders and coriander.

The scrumptious mouth-feel and peppy flavour of this mildly-sweet roti is sure to be loved by young and old alike. It is comparable to thepla but quite different too, which makes it a must-try!

You can serve it as a snack or for breakfast, with your favourite subzi or just curds and pickle.

You can also try other sweet potato recipes like Sweet Potato Tikki or Sweet Potato Khichdi.
