If you haven't tried sweet potato paratha yet then you should it's yum. Mildly sweet, spicy it's great to eat with any side like or curd, pickle or try it with any kheer too. DH like sweet potato paratha and whenever we get batch of sweet potato I divide it into two portions one portion will go into making this paratha and another portion I will make halwa, kheer, tikki etc.



To make this paratha more healthy you can add chopped fenugreek leaves (methi) or even spinach (palak) etc, for kids you can apply ghee or butter instead of oil. Stuffed method is almost same I will try to post that version too some time for but now try this sweet potato paratha for your breakfast, lunch, dinner or lunch box.
