Author Rashmi Sharma

Ingredients

• 1 no Avocado
• 1 cup Wheat Flour
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Lemon Juice
• 1 tbsp Cilantro Chopped coriander leaves
• 0.50 tsp Garlic Clove Chopped
• 1 tsp Unsalted Butter Or Ghee

Instructions

1. Cut the avocado into a half using a knife and remove the seed using a spoon. Scoop out the avocado flesh from the peel using a spoon and put it in the medium bowl. Discard the avocado peel.
2. Squeeze in the lemon juice, add chopped garlic, chopped cilantro, salt and mash everything together using a fork.
3. Add a cup of wheat flour and knead a soft dough ( water is not necessary for kneading a dough, mashed avocado is enough for kneading the dough).
4. Cover and set the dough for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, divide the dough into an equal size small balls, dust each ball with extra wheat flour or all purpose flour and roll into the thin flat circle one at a time.
5. Place the rolled paratha on a hot skillet and cook until the paratha starts to puff up slightly on top.
6. Flip and cook on the other side until the color changes slightly and the brown spots start to appear. Transfer it to a plate and apply butter when the paratha is hot and serve.

Tips:

• Use Ripe Avocado: Make sure the avocado is ripe and soft. It should mash easily and give a smooth texture to the dough.
• Add Flavors: You can customize the flavor by adding chopped cilantro, green chilies, or a pinch of hing (asafoetida) to the dough.
• Gluten-Free Option: If you prefer a gluten-free version, you can use gluten-free flour instead of whole wheat flour. However, the texture might be slightly different.
• Paratha Variations: For a richer taste, you can brush the parathas with ghee after cooking them.

Serving Suggestions:

• With Yogurt: Serve with plain yogurt or a mint yogurt dip for a cooling contrast to the spices.
• With Pickle: This paratha goes wonderfully with mango pickle, lime pickle, or any spicy Indian pickle.
• With Curry: Pair the avocado paratha with any Indian curry like dal, paneer butter masala, or aloo gobi.

Health Benefits:

• Avocado: Rich in healthy fats, especially monounsaturated fats, which are good for heart health. Avocados are also loaded with fiber, potassium, and vitamins (especially Vitamin E, K, and B-vitamins).
• Whole Wheat Flour: Provides more fiber and nutrients compared to refined flour, which supports digestive health and keeps you fuller for longer.
• Nutrient-Dense: Avocado paratha is a balanced meal in itself, offering healthy fats, fiber, and carbohydrates, making it a good option for breakfast or lunch.

This Avocado Paratha is a deliciously soft, slightly nutty, and creamy variation of the traditional paratha. The addition of avocado gives it a wonderful texture and flavor that will make your regular paratha experience much more exciting and nutritious! Enjoy!
