Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1.5 Cups Whole Wheat Flour More for dusting
  • 1 Avocado Medium sized
  • ¼ Teaspoon Salt
  • ½ tablespoon Oil for frying for parathas

Instructions

  • Peel and mash the avocado. Add salt.
  • Start with 1 cup of flour and try and not use any water.
  • Add flour to the mash and start rubbing the avocado into the flour.If the dough is wet, add more flour.
  • Knead gently till the avocado is mixed evenly and the dough is soft and firm.
  • Divide the dough into golf ball sized balls.

Avocado Roti

  • Dust the ball into some dry flour. Place it on a rolling surface. Flatten it with your palm and roll it into a circular shaped disc.
  • Meanwhile heat the pan, cast iron skillet or tawa.
  • Once hot, place the rolled roti on it. Flip once you see bubbles forming.
  • Using a cloth or kitchen napkin, press the roti gently, encouraging it to puff up on the tawa on both the sides.
  • Alternatively, you can roast the avocado roti straight on the fire to make phulkas.

Avocado Paratha

  • Dust the ball into some dry flour. Place it on a rolling surface. Flatten it with your palm and roll it into a circular shaped disc.
  • Fold the dish into half once, making a semi cricle .Fold that again, making a rough triangle.
  • heat the pan, cast iron skillet or tawa. Once hot, place the rolled triangle on it. Flip once it turns slightly brown.
  • Brush with very little oil. Flip and cook the other side.Avocado paratha is ready.

Notes

Avocado

Use ripe avocados or guacamole to make the paratha.
Here I have used a regular avocado, which makes about 1 cup of mash.Baby avocados are usually half the size of normal avocados.
Most days, I do not measure but try to use a whole avocado, entirely with as little flour as possible. 

Tips, Tricks and Solutions

  • Avocados darken quickly after being peeled, and the same goes for the dough. When refrigerated, avocado dough darkens but stays fine for 1-2 days.
  • Paratha with Guac- You can also use premade guac to make the avocado dough.It comes out great. Just omit the salt and chili.
  • Serve with a protein side dish like this easy paneer makhani, spicy egg roast or a chili oil fried egg.It also goes well with raitas like boondi raita and dahi tadka.
