How to make Avocado flatbread / Avocado Paratha

Cooking time: 10 mins, Preparation time: 5mins, Category: Easy and healthy kids lunch box ideas

Ingredients :

Ripe Avocado: 1

Whole wheat flour: 1Cup

Cilantro: 10 leaves, finely chopped

Cumin Powder: 1/2tsp

Flax seed meal: 1/2tsp

Lemon juice from half of a lemon

Ghee: 1tsp

Salt

(Variations: Add Carom seeds / Ajwain seeds: 1/4tsp / finely chopped mint leaves:4 / Italian herb blend: 1/4tsp)

Method:

1. Remove the pit and mash the flesh of Avocado -  Cut the Avocado in half, remove the pit and mash the flesh using a fork/potato masher. Add Lemon juice immediately.

2. Season and make the dough - Add the flax seed meal, cumin powder, salt and cilantro, mix thoroughly. Start adding the whole wheat flour and knead to a smooth dough. You dont have to add water because of the moisture from Avocado pulp.

3. Roll and cook the Avocado Parathas - Heat a cast iron skillet / Tawa on medium flame. Meanwhile, make 4 equal sized balls to make the paratha. Take one ball, dust it with flour and flatten it using your palm and roll the avocado paratha thin using a rolling pin*. Place the paratha on the heated skillet and let it cook. Once you see little bubbles, flip the paratha and drizzle some ghee on top. Press with the spatula on top of the paratha, so that it can puff up a bit. Flip again and drizzle ghee on the other side as well. 

ghee Serve with greek yogurt / Raitha / Curry.

Note*- After rolling, I cut the dough with a large heart shaped cookie cutter to keep it in my daughter's lunch box. Viola!!! My avocado hater will definitely fall for the shape. I am using planetbox to pack my 7year old's lunch and thermos if it is a warm lunch.

Happy cooking,
