Avocado has many nutritional benefits. Avocados are cholesterol- and sodium-free, and more than 50 percent of the fruit’s fat content comes from monounsaturated fats. It contributes nearly 20 beneficial nutrients to the diet. Avocados help assist consumers in meeting a major dietary goal of reducing saturated fat in the diet, when they are consumed in place of saturated-fat containing foods. It is also good for eye health. It has nice creamy texture so can be used in sandwiches, rolls, dips etc. You will not believe when I used this for making chappathi for the first time it came damn soft as if I added like a butter and puffed up so good. So I am regularly using this for making chappathi's. And I have little variation for avocado roti which I will put it in note section for those you really need not have any sidedish except simple raita.
But yesterday I made plain avocado chappathi very well goes with any spicy curry. I made gobi mutter curry for this yesterday it was excellent.. Hope you all have a try and let me know.
AVOCADO CHAPPATHI
Ingredients :
Wheat flour - 1 cup
Avocado - 1/2 scooped and mashed
Salt
Method :
1. Mix flour, mashe avocado and salt together to make a soft dough. Add water little by little only if needed since avocado has the moisture only less amount of water is enough.
2. Knead the dough on a lightly greased surface to make the dough smooth.
3.Set the dough aside and cover with a damp cloth. .
4. Let the dough rest for at least ten minutes or more.
5. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts.
6.Take a ball, press it in dry flour on both sides. Roll into a circle.
7. If the dough sticks to the rolling pin or rolling surface, lightly dust it with dry flour.
8. Heat the skillet . Place the chappathi over skillet. They start puffing with small bubbles now flip over another side press slightly with spatula so that it puffs well again.
9. I never add oil for roasting since it has the buttery texture it comes out so soft and yummy.
