    Avocado is yet another Fruit I got to know after coming to the US. I first rated it in a Mexican restaurant. I first thought they added so much butter into guacamole for that creaminess then I came to know it is avocado that does that magic.😂

    Nowadays avocado has become one of my favorite fruit and after hearing their healthy benefits, I started buying them regularly. My frequent take with Avocado is Guacamole in Indian style. In our home, we love this as a side dish for chappati, put it in bread, and do Guacamole Sandwich, a few Mexican styles dishes like Burritos and Quesadilla.

    Ever since I heard about Avocado Paratha from my friend, I wanted to try but somehow I kept postponing Finally I did it, and I regretted delaying it, the softest paratha I ever tasted. Nowadays once a week I am doing this.

    My toddler loves it. I always wanted to give him roti but had second thoughts about him chewing it, silly I think it is tough for him to eat. The avocado paratha was the first paratha I tried for him. He loves it, happiness is with healthy recipes becomes a kid's favorite.

    Ingredients

    • Whole wheat Flour - 1 cup + 1 tablespoon optional

    • Salt - as needed

    Instructions

    • In a  bowl mash avocado. Add 1 cup of wheat flour, salt, pepper powder, and garlic powder to the mashed avocado pulp; combine well and make a pliable dough. Moisture in avocado should be enough to make dough but if required add 1-2 teaspoon of lukewarm water. I didn't add water
    • Cover it with a damp cloth and leave it for 30 mins - 1 hour
    • Take small portions of dough and make small balls; roll them with a 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

    Notes

    1. Onion, ginger or any other Masala like garam masala, pav bhaji masala etc. can be added for extra flavors
    2. Paratha cooks well even without oil/ghee/butter
    3. Lemon juice/ Apple Cider Vinegar can be used to prevent Avocado from changing color. I generally won't add, still, my paratha looks and tastes good
    4.  Use 2 avocados if it is small. My avocado weighed around 185 grams
    5.  Moisture in avocado is enough for the dough. If required sprinkle a tablespoon of water, not more. I didn't add water
    6. Avocado paratha stays good for overnight in room temperature. Stays soft for lunch box
    7. The dough can be made in advance and left overnight. If you are keeping overnight refrigerate the dough. Keep it out for 13 minutes and roll
    8. Keep avocado in room temperature for sometime before making the dough
