1

Cook yam pieces until 80% done. Drain and cool slightly.
2

In a mixer, blend yam, coriander leaves, curry leaves, fennel seeds, green chilli, and tamarind paste to a paste (no water).
3

Transfer paste to a bowl. Add wheat flour, besan, salt, sugar, coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric, and chilli powder.
4

Mix well to form a dough, adding water only if needed. Apply a little oil to the dough.
5

Divide dough into equal portions. Roll each into a slightly thick paratha. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and press gently.
6

Cook paratha on a hot tava, applying ghee or oil on both sides, until golden.
