A sweet potato is orange-fleshed high in beta carotene , potassium, vitamins A,C and B-6. In fact, one medium sweet potato has about four times the daily recommended allowance of vitamin A and almost half the recommendation for vitamin C. All of this with no fat, no cholesterol and only about 118 calories per potato.
As they are so less in fat compare to regular potato so i thought to give it a try in parathas..Parathas turned out very nice & soft.You can have this with any sabji or curry of your choice but i like to have it with curd (added salt and pepper) and little bit of pickle..they do taste little bit sweet so you can add green chillies or any spices of your choice while making the dough but i made it without any spices as my 14 month old daughter was also gonna eat this..
