Cut the sweet potato into half, and pressure cook for 3 whistles or until sweet potato is cooked well with some salt. Peel the skin and grate or mash the sweet potato.
In a bowl, add wheat flour, boiled & grated sweet potato, coriander leaves, ajwain, ginger, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, jeera powder, amchur powder, oil, and salt. Mix well.
Add very little water and make a smooth (but not sticky) dough. Smear little oil on the dough and let it rest for at least 10-15 mins.
Make balls from the dough. I was able to get 6 balls.
Roll the parathas semi-thick/thin by dusting some dry flour.
Heat up a tawa/skillet on medium heat and place the paratha and let it cook.
Once you see bubbles, flip onto the other side drizzle some ghee or oil on top. Flip again and drizzle oil or ghee on the other side until they have nice golden spots on both sides.
Serve Sweet Potato Paratha with curd, pickle, raita, ketchup or any gravy of your choice.

Perfectly Cooked Sweet Potatoes: Make sure sweet potatoes are cooked well else, they will be challenging to mash or grate.
Greens: You can add green leafy vegetables like finely chopped spinach or methi (fenugreek leaves).
Other Veggies: You can also add some grated carrots or beets for this paratha.
Sweet potato paratha with Jaggery: I have prepared this sweet potato roti without adding any jaggery (or sugar). If you like, you can add a little bit of jaggery/sugar.
Spices: This sweet potato chapati (thepla) is naturally sweet, so adjust the spices accordingly.
