Avocado is one of my favorite fruit and after hearing its healthy benefits, I started buying them regurlaly. My frequent take with Avocado is Guacamole in Indian style. In our home we love this as side dish for chappati, put it in bread and do Guacamole Sandwich, few Mexican style dishes like Burrito and Quesadilla. Every since I saw Avocada Paratha in my friend Malar’s space, I wanted to try but somehow I kept postponing Finally I did it, and I regretted for delaying it, softest paratha I ever tasted. Now a days once a week I am doing this
Avocado Paratha
Preparation time : 10 mins | Standing time : 30 mins – 1 hour | Serves : 2
Ingredients:
Whole wheat Flour – 1 cup
Avocado – 2, small; ripe avocado pitted and mashed
Pepper powder – 1/8 tsp
Coriander Powder – 1/2 tsp
Cumin Powder – 1/4 tsp
Lemon juice – 1/2 tsp
Oil – 1 tsp
Salt – as needed
Method:
- In a bowl mash avocado and add lime juice; mix well. Add wheat, oil, salt, pepper powder, coriander powder and cumin powder to the mashed avocado pulp; combine well and make a pliable dough. Moisture in avocado should be enough to make dough but if the required add 1-2 tsp of water. Cover it with damp cloth and leave it for 30 mins – 1 hour
- Take small portions of dough and make small balls; roll it with rolling pin, dusting wheat flour. Heat a griddle and when it is hot, place the rolled paratha. and cook for a minute or so till the chappati starts puffing , flip it over to the other side. Cook till the other side cooks
My Notes:
- Can add onion, garlic or any other Masala like garam masala, pav bhaji masala etc. for flavors
- I didn’t use oil while cooking the paratha but you can drizzle some oil/ghee/butter
- Instead of lemon juice Apple Cider Vinegar can be used to prevent Avocado from changing color
- Can add 1 tbsp of yogurt instead of oil while making dough
