Avacado Paratha

Avacado is Fruit.It ripens only after plucking and keeping it outside along with other fruits. The first time I bought it I did not know that it will be raw inside. So I cut and saw that it was not ripe. I peeled the skin and tried grating it. It occured to me why not make paratha like mooli paratha and turned out to be a hit among friends.



Ingredients

Avacado – 1(green big)
Wheat Flour- 2 cups
Sambar pdr – 1 tsp
Salt-1/2 tsp
Oil/Ghee for frying

Method

To Cut the Avacado: Grip the avocado gently on one side with one hand. With a large, sharp knife in the other hand, cut the avocado lengthwise around the seed. Open the two halves to expose the pit. Holding the avocado half that contains the pit, gently tap the pit with the knife with enough force so that the knife edge wedges into the pit, but not so hard as to cut all the way through it. For safety, you can fold up a kitchen towel and use that to hold the avocado half. Peel the skin with a peeler.If it is ripe you can scoop it up with a spoon.



Grate the avocado if it is raw. Mash it if it is ripe.




In a pan add 2 tsp oil/ghee add sambar pdr and add the avocado. Saute it for a minute.Mix it with wheat flour adding salt and enough water to make a thick dough.
Keep it closed for 1 hr.Make small balls . Spread it with a rolling pin in triangular shape or round.
Put it in a hot tawa.Spread oil/ghee on both the sides and cook each side.





Serve it with kadi or any vegetarian dish.
