Avocado Paratha
These soft and filling parathas make an ideal healthy breakfast for your busy mornings.
Ingredients
- 3 cups flour (multigrain or whole wheat)
- 2 ripe avocados
- 2 tsp coriander powder
- 1 tsp chilli powder (adjust to taste)
- ¼ tsp cumin powder
- ½ tsp ajwain
- 1 tsp lemon/lime juice
- salt to taste
- water as needed (to make dough)
- flour for dusting and rolling parathas
- oil for cooking parathas
Instructions
- Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Score the flesh of the avocado without piercing the skin.
- Scoop the avocado with a spoon and add to a mixing bowl. Mash until there are no lumps.
- Add coriander powder, chili powder, cumin powder, ajwain and lemon juice. Mix well.
- Add flour and salt.
- Knead the dough by adding small amounts of water at a time. Cover the dough and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
- Make even sized balls with the dough. Dust each ball with flour and roll into circles using a rolling pin.
- Heat a tawa or skillet. Once hot, add the rolled paratha.
- Let it cook. Once bubbles form, flip the paratha and spread oil on it. Flip again and spread oil on the other side. Repeat this for all the parathas.
- Serve hot with raita, pickle, or any gravy.
Notes
- You can also add 3-4 tbsp of chopped mint or cilantro to the dough to give this paratha a refreshing taste.
