Method

Take a mixing Bowl add the wheat flour and Guacamole and grated carrot then knead all the ingredients together until it forms a smooth dough. Do not add any water. The moisture in the guacamole will be enough to form the dough.

Cover the bowl and leave it aside for about 30 mins.

Divide the dough in small portions. Roll the portions into balls; flatten them with the palm of your hand. Toss them in flour or apply oil on rolling pin to and roll them out into thin circle.

 

As you roll them out, you can keep tossing the dough in dry flour to prevent sticking when rolling them out. Continue the same process of rolling the dough out with the remaining balls. It is ideal when you can roll out the all portions of dough before you can start cooking them.

Place a skillet on high heat, place the rolled out dough on the skillet. After a few seconds you will notice small air pockets popping out.

At this point flip the paratha and smear about 1/2 a teaspoon of ghee or oil and using a flat spatula and do a light pressing and turning motion to cook to the parathas. Flip to the other side and press and turn in a similar way. You will notice brown spots around the cooked paratha. Remove from heat and place on a flat plate. Continue the similar process with the remaining rolled out portions.

Serve Avocado Paratha with pickle or Curd or ketchup or pickled onion and enjoy

notes

if in case at the end you feel that the dough is little too dry, add couple of tbsp. of water to bring it together Dough.

Adding Salt to paratha dough ,just be careful as Guacamole also contain Salt.
