  • Avocado – I used one medium sized avocado. If it is small you can always use two.
  • Wheat flour (atta) – Commercially available Indian atta. You can use any of your own favorite brand here.
  • Coriander leaves – Not only deepens the hue, it also adds flavor and taste.
  • Green chilli – Prefer using this for increasing the green color as well as add spice.
  • Lemon juice – Balances the taste, eliminating the avocado smell & taste. Helps preventing discoloration due to oxidation of avocado though not fully, slightly.
  • Curd / Plain yogurt – Adds softness along with avocado.
  • Spice powders – Chilli powder (do not use too much to prevent greenish color), dhaniya powder, turmeric and Garam masala. I added little kasuri methi for flavor.

Substitutions

If you know how to make the recipe fit a certain diet, let the reader know here. Don’t fake it – only provide guidance on topics you have actual experience with.

  • Coriander – instead of coriander leaves, you can use mint leaves or even spinach.
  • Spices – use more green chilli and skip red chilli powder totally.
  • Gluten free – Wheat flour can be replaced with any gluten free flour.

Variations

You can alter the recipe to suit your needs.

  • Spicy – add crushed black pepper for extra punch and flavor.
  • Deluxe – add minced onion or garlic or ginger
  • Kid friendly – make wrap with this paratha and their favorite filling. I even make pockets with a cheese slice inside.

See this avocado crema recipe on my website!

I adapted this recipe from here.

Storage

Cooked paratha stays soft for the whole day at room temperature.

Do not rest the dough, as it may get discolored. Make it immediately. Even refrigerating will not help in this case.

You can however refrigerate the cooked paratha and re-heat later. Can be good for couple of days.

Top tip

  • I use maida for dusting to avoid dry paratha.
  • Add more atta if the dough is sticky.
