Avocado Paratha

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 avocado
• 1 1/4 cups (+ 3 tbsp) spelt flour
• 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
• 1/4 cup red onion, diced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• 3/4 tsp garam masala
• 3/4 tsp ground cumin powder
• 3/4 tsp turmeric powder
• flour (extra for dusting when rolling the paratha)
• sea salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Peel the avocado, remove the meat and mash it using a fork.
2. Add the cumin, garam masala, turmeric, salt and pepper, cilantro, onions, and lemon juice - mix well.
3. Add the spelt flour to the avocado mix and knead it with your hand into a soft dough (add warm water by the tbsp, if required).
4. Let the ball of dough sit for 10-20 minutes.
5. Heat a skillet on the stove top on medium heat (I use a cast iron one that my MIL brought from India).
6. Make equal size balls from the dough (I make 7-9)
7. Take a ball, dust it with flour and flatten it out using your hands. Then roll it out using a rolling pin.
8. Place the rolled out paratha onto the heated skillet and let it cook, you will see some bubbles (45-60 seconds).
9. Flip the paratha and cook this side the same.
10. Flip the paratha again and pat it down with a towel or a spatula for a few seconds.
11. Remove from the heat and add some butter. Serve hot with yogurt, fresh vegetables, and/or chutney.
12. Enjoy!
