Equipment

Ingredients
For the paratha (flatbread) dough
- 2 medium ripe avocados
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tbsp garlic & chili paste
- 3 tbsp coriander leaves chopped
- 1 tsp oil
- 1 tsp salt

- 4-5 tbsp oil/ghee
Instructions
- Scrape the avocado out of its shell and mash it, until smooth, using the back of a fork. Mix in the salt, chili-garlic paste and chopped coriander
- Add the flour and oil. Start kneading with your hands, until the dough comes together. Knead for 5-7 minutes at least. Apply some oil to the dough, cover and rest for 15 minutes
- Divide the dough in 7 equal sized balls. Dust some flour on your work surface, roll each dough ball out to the size of a regular parathas. When done sprinkle some sesame seeds and press down with the rolling pin
- Heat the skillet over a medium flame and roast the parathas. When brown spots appear, drizzle some oil/ghee around the edges and in the centre. Once it puffs up and is completely cooked remove from flame
