A delicious, soft and healthy paratha recipe that is made with ripe avocados and whole wheat flour. All you need with these parathas is a side of chilled yoghurt to enjoy a yummy meal

 

I love avocados. Be it on their own, in sandwiches, salads or as dips. Having tried various delicious recipes with this extremely nutritious fruit, I wanted to make something different. And so, here it is, avocado paratha or flatbread. So, the thing is, I just can’t do without my carbs. Therefore, I keep trying interesting ways to spruce it up. And on one such occasion when I was wondering what paratha to have, this recipe idea struck me. These are incredibly easy to make, with very few ingredients and stay soft for long. While you can pair these up with any dal or subzi, I love eating them dipped in some chilled yogurt. I have made these avocado paratha (flatbreads) for friends and family and everybody has loved them.

If you, on the other hand, are someone who doesn’t like this green fruit much, but want to include it in your diet, then you ought to try this recipe out. And if you are someone who, like me, loves them, then this is a recipe for keeps. Furthermore, if you love Indian parathas, then my friend, here is another gem for you! What’s more, you can have them with some chai for breakfast and with some side, for your lunch and dinner.

One recipe and so many options! What’s not to love about it?

The dough

I have used whole wheat flour to make my avocado paratha (flatbread). This ensures greater fibre intake, as compared to using plain flour. Secondly, I have kept the aromatics to flavour these breads to fresh ingredients, like garlic, chilis and coriander leaves. This ensures that, the taste of the avos shine through the flatbreads even when cooked. However, if you do not wish to add the chilis or garlic you may leave them out. Be assured that, your parathas will still taste great! Lastly, I have drizzled some black sesame seeds over, before roasting them. And this is more for the aesthetics, really. So, even this is optional. Like I said earlier, you only need very few ingredients to make these Indian flatbreads. On another note, even sesame seeds are packed with health benefits, so add them in anyway!

Now, coming to the avocados themselves. Make sure to use the perfectly ripe ones. So, how do you choose them while buying the fruit? Pick up those avocados, that have a darker colour  on the outside but are still firm. If they are dark and give in easily on pressing gently, then they are over ripe. Leave them out. And the green looking ones mean, they still need to ripen. Picking the right fruit is important for the taste of the breads. Additionally, I have not used any water to knead the dough here. It is the smooth, mashed flesh of the avocado that brings the flour together, to make a soft and smooth dough.

Roasting the parathas

I have used ghee to roast my parathas, for the added flavour. Nonetheless, you could use any regular, neutral smelling cooking oil too. However, in that case, do apply some ghee on the avocado paratha (flatbreads) once you roast them. After all, Indian breads have got to have some fragrant ghee slathered on them. 🙂

How to have these

You can pair these delicious parathas with some chutney, pickle or just plain yoghurt too. Personally, I love them with some chilled yoghurt, spiked with chili powder and seasoned with some pink Himalayan salt. What you pair these super yummy breads with is immaterial, because it is going to taste incredible, anyhow. So, do give this recipe a try. And drop me line with what you teamed up your avocado paratha (flatbread) with.

Are you planning to make these? Then I’d love to hear from you in the comments section below. You can also share your food pictures with me over on Instagram.

Eat hearty!
