Rinse sweet potatoes, if it is big in size, cut it into 2 or 3 pieces, add it to a pressure cooker pan add water to immerse it, pressure cook it for 3 whistles.
When the pressure of the cooker settles by its own remove the cooked potatoes allow it to cool, then peel the skin, mash it and keep ready.

Make lemon size ball of prepared stuffing and keep ready.
Heat a flat pan, with a low flame, grease it with oil. Knead the dough once again for few seconds, take a lemon sized ball, grease a polythene thick sheet /butter sheet/fresh Banana leaf spread the gently to flat with greased fingers, place sweet potato stuffing.

Once it is done, heat a tawa, grease it with oil, Remove the prepared hoilge from the sheet gently,(it comes easily if the sheet is greased with oil properly)
Put it on the tawa and cook it for both sides to golden brown in a medium flame. (no need to apply oil to cook)
Continue the same method for the rest. (when each holige is done put it on a plate, for a while to cool then transfer it to the common plate to avoid sticking /crowded/overlapping.

Note –
Take care while cooking sweet potatoes as it must not be too mushy.
