When I posted the recipe for sweet potato porridge, my friend Sheetal said she makes sweet potato parathas for her daughter, Anahita. I think she sent me the recipe more than a couple of months back. She even sent me a photo of the dish. But I’ve been plain lazy. I kept putting off detailing out the recipe and writing an introduction. In fact I’m posting on this blog after two whole weeks. Other than posting some links on my Facebook page (Mum-Mum Time), I’ve been pretty much inactive.
I think part of the reason for my inertia was that I didn’t know if I was really reaching out to other moms. Some of my friends and ex-colleagues have been very supportive of my blog—especially Sheetal, Josceline, Shilpi, Shweta, and Eisha. But I didn’t know if I was reaching out to moms other than the ones I know. Then yesterday out of the blue I saw some comments posted by moms I didn’t know. Their encouraging comments were a great motivation for me to write again. :-)
To get back to sweet potato parathas…I’m yet to make these parathas. Devansh tastes parathas but doesn’t eat them in good quantity to comprise a meal. So when I want him to eat sweet potatoes, I make him a porridge. But older kids will prefer parathas. Give these parathas a try. A good way include sweet potatoes in your kid’s diet, which are a good source of vitamins, iron, and magnesium.
Sweet Potato Paratha Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 medium sized sweet potato
- Wheat dough 2-3 ball-shaped portions
- 1/4 th tsp jeera powder
- 1/4 th tsp ginger paste
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Boil sweet potato and mash it.
- Add jeera powder, ginger paste, and salt to mashed sweet potato and mix well.
- Make 2-3 ball-shaped portions of the mixture to be used as stuffing for the parathas.
- Take one portion of dough and roll out into a small circle (about 5” in diameter).
- Place one portion of the stuffing on the rolled out dough.
- Bring together the sides of the dough in the center and seal tightly. This again will be ball-shaped. Flatten it slightly so you can roll out to make parathas.

Awesome! I tried sweet potato porridge, my lil one loved it but was questioning why I was giving her 'baby food'!! And she doesn't eat sweet potato in any other form too..this might be a grt idea, will def try.
In btw dear, my sister Anjali, and one of my other friend Swati follow your blog, they probably don't comment becoz of the familiarity factor, but there are other ppl too who really appreciate ur efforts. I sincerely wish I had access to such good ideas before, maybe my daughter wudn't have been a fussy eater.
Thanks so much Eisha…you've been very encouraging from day 1….but I was beginning to wonder if people other than the ones I know are reading this or am I just amusing myself :)
