Avocado Paratha

Avocados are high in fat content, fiber, known to reduce the bad cholesterol, has more potassium than what one banana can offer and has a natural buttery texture. All this makes it a highly desirable component in a vegetarian diet. So I was dismayed when my daughter refused to have this fruit as is or with bread. I needed to include this in her diet and this is what I came up with - Avocado paratha. The result was soft parathas.

Ingredients

1. 1 Ripe Avocado
2. Whole wheat flour - 2 cups
3. Salt - 1/2 tsp

Procedure

1. Remove the skin and seed of the ripe avocado, mash it nicely to make it like a paste consistency.
2. To the whole wheat flour add the avocado paste, add salt
3. Add lukewarm water and make a soft dough from it.
4. Take one lime size ball, roll it out to make a thin circular disc
5. Heat a pan.
6. Add the chapathi to the pan. Cover the lid and let it cook for 2-3 mins
7. Once you see small bubbles turn to the other side and let it cook again covering the lid for 2-3 mins.
8. Once both sides are mildly cooked, put it on fire directly to make it puff like a poori. I have an electric stove and I use a mesh to put it on top instead of directly putting it on the coil.
9. Apply butter if necessary.
10. Serve with curd or other side dishes as available.
