Choose
ripe Avocado which normally looks dark green on outside and
should feel soft when touched. Even if you get an unripe
one, place them in a brown paper bag and it will ripe in
2 days. Using your knife, cut around the seed and twist,
which will separate them into two halves. Using a spoon scoop
out the flesh.
Chop the onions and garlic, lightly saute in a pan with few drops
of oil and cool completely. In a large bowl, sieve flour, salt,
red chili powder, garam masala powder and add the avocado flesh,
finely chopped coriander leaves and onion mixture. Combine everything
to a crumbly texture. Add water slowly and knead to make a soft
sticky dough. (10 minutes) Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Divide them into equal portions, may yield 10 to 12 depending
on the size. Roll them to make small balls, roll out to a round
disc using enough flour for dusting, fold into half, again fold
that into half to form a triangle. Dusting with flour, flatten
the small triangle to slightly bigger shape with 1/8 " of
thickness. You can avoid this whole decorate thing and proceed
like making chapatis. The above picture is just the " mini
me" replicate of my original avocado parathas, mainly shared
for showing the method of folding.
Heat a tawa or iron griddle and toast the parathas for few
seconds on one side, add few drops of oil if you wish but not
really necessary. Flip to the other side, it will puff up,
remove and serve warm with chana masala or any gravy of your
choice.
