Divide filling into small balls(just the size of golf  balls) before hand.Same way make small balls of dough and keep it ready.Keep the griddle on heat.Take the dough ball roll it using wooden roller(bellan) into small round chapati using in between  wheat flour for rolling.Now put the filling ball on this small chapati and close from all side and seal it like a ball again.
Now again roll this ball into a medium size chapati.take care the filling should not come outside,for this the filling should be very dry.
when the griddle is hot put this sweet chapati on the griddle and cook on both side spreading ghee on it.when both the sides light brown bubble is seen remove it from the griddle.

Method to make sweet potato puri:
Take a mixing bowl and add wheat flour,boiled and mashed sweet potatoes,sugar powder,cardamon powder,pinch of salt and 1 tsp oil.mix everything properly and putting little by little water(don't add too much as sweet potato will contain some water in it) knead into puri dough.Finally add 1 tsp more of oil and knead thoroughly.keep it aside for 15 minutes.
Divide into golf size small balls of dough and roll it into 6"round shape rounds using little flour for rolling.
Heat sufficient oil in a pan  and when oil becomes hot,fry puri one puri at a time.
To make the puri puffed up after 2 seconds of putting start pressing lightly(holding them under the oil on the first side until they puff) on puri and leave ,it will start puffing.
Once it is puffed ,turn over to cook on other side.when puri become light brown drain and remove it on the kitchen paper towel.This puri won't puff that much like normal puri.
You can serve hot with any achar/pickle/sauce/plain like that.kids love this dish.
