Equipment

  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • 1 Skillet

Ingredients
  

Veggies

  • 1 Medium Sweet Potato
  • 4 Green chillies
  • 2-3 Scallions

Spices

  • 1½ tsp Cumin Powder
  • ½ tsp salt

For the Dough

  • 2 cups Rice Flour Gluten-Free
  • ¼ cup Vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • ½ cup Warm Water
  • 2-3 tbsp Cold water Optional

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Wash the sweet potato, Scallions and green chillies.
  • Microwave the sweet potato in the microwave for 4-5 minutes or until soft. Let it cool.
  • Peel the sweet potato.
  • Grate the sweet potato in a mixing bowl.
  • Remove the root of the scallion, and chop finely.
  • Remove the stem of the green chillies and finely chop them.

Making the Dough

  • Remove lumps from the grated sweet potato. Add the rice flour to this bowl (Pic#6), cumin powder (Pic#7), baking powder, and salt.
  • Add in the oil. Mash the sweet potato, flour and the spices and oil well. (Pic#8)
  • Add the hot water slowly and wait for 2-3 mins to be soaked in.
  • Bring together the dough adding in some cold water if the dough seems dry. I prefer kneading the dough by hand, feel free to use a bread maker or a stand-mixer.

Cooking the Flatbread

  • Let the dough rest for 5-10 minutes. Knead it for 2-3 minutes.
  • Break a small portion of the dough and make a small ball (~1 inch in diameter).
  • Flatten the ball and add some dry flour onto the surface. (Pic#11)
  • Roll the dough flat and sprinkle chopped scallions (spring onions), green chillies, and some rice flour (Pic#12).
  • Roll the dough, gently pressing it as taking care the scallions get folded over. The dough now looks like a log (Pic#13)
  • Fold the log into a spiral gently pressing the dough.  (Pic#14)
  • Shape it into a ball and roll it over a surface dusted with rice flour.
  • In a skillet/ pan over medium heat add a tsp of oil and cook the flatbread, (Pic#15) flipping it with a spatula after 2-3 minutes.
  • Cook the flatbread from both sides until it is slightly golden brown. (Pic#16)
  • Enjoy the flatbread with some greek yogurt and any dip of your choice or just with ketchup!
