Sweet Potato and Squash Parathas

If you love Indian food, you're sure to love Summers Under The Tamarind Tree: Recipes and memories from Pakistan. It showcases a full-flavored cuisine with Arabic and Far East Asian influences on many dishes. Author Sumayya Usmani uses this contemporary Pakistani cookbook to celebrate the flavors and traditions of Pakistan that she learned from spending time in the kitchen with her mother and grandmother when she was growing up.From the Author: "These aren't your typical stuffed parathas: instead they're more like Scottish tattie scones in which mashed potato is mixed with flour to make flat griddle scones, although these are much thinner. This recipe is quicker and easier than making stuffed parathas, but has the same comforting result."
