Avocado Paratha is a healthy and flavorful Indian flatbread made with ripe avocado, bringing a creamy texture and rich taste to a traditional dish. This versatile paratha can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, making it a delicious and nutritious addition to your meal.

For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (120 grams) whole wheat flour
• 1 medium ripe avocado (about 150 grams), mashed
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
• 2-3 tablespoons water (as needed)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for cooking)
• Fresh cilantro or mint leaves, chopped (optional, for added flavor)

Procedure:

• In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, mashed avocado, cumin powder, and salt.
• Mix well until the ingredients are incorporated.
• Gradually add water, a tablespoon at a time, kneading until a soft and pliable dough forms. Let it rest for about 15-20 minutes.
• After resting, divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
• On a lightly floured surface, take one dough ball and flatten it with your fingers.
• Using a rolling pin, roll it out into a circle about 6-7 inches in diameter. Ensure it’s not too thick.
• Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat. If using, add a little olive oil to the pan.
• Place the rolled paratha on the skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes on one side until small bubbles form.
• Flip the paratha and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
• Optional: Brush a little olive oil on both sides for extra flavor and crispiness.
• Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
