Ingredients

For the filling:
1 large sweet potato (approx. 350g), peeled and quartered
4 spring onions, chopped
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
2 cloves garlic, crushed
½ red chilli, finely chopped
25g fresh coriander, chopped
50g frozen peas, defrosted
For the dough:
200g wholemeal flour
½ tsp baking powder
100g 0% fat yogurt
125ml water
2 tsp rapeseed oil

Method

Step 1

Boil the sweet potato for 10–15 minutes until soft, then drain and mash.

Step 2

Add the spring onions, turmeric, cumin, ground coriander, garlic and chilli, fresh coriander and peas to the sweet potato. Mix well and reserve.

Step 3

Add the flour to a bowl with the baking powder, yogurt and water. Mix well into a dough.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 8 balls. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball out into thin circles, creating 8 pancakes.

Step 5

Divide the filling into four and spread it out over four of the dough circles, leaving a 1cm border around the edge.

Step 6

Brush the edges with a little water, then place another dough circle on top, pressing the edges firmly together.

Step 7

Brush a non-stick frying pan with ½ tsp oil, then place a paratha in the pan and cook over a low to medium heat for 2 minutes, turn over with a spatula and cook the other side for 2 minutes. Flip again and give each side one more minute. (When ready, the surface of the paratha should have a few brown spots). Repeat with the remaining parathas.

Step 8

Cut into quarters to serve.

Recipe tips

These parathas can be spiced up by adding some chopped fresh chilli and grated ginger when mixing the filling.
