Avocado Chappathi / Avocado Roti / Avocado Paratha

Avocado is one of the veggies which always occupy a permanent space in our refrigerator. Avocado is incredibly nutritious, high in Potassium, loaded with fiber, good for heart, etc., Today I made Avocado Chappathis using a perfectly ripen Avocado, instead of making my regular guacamole. The rotis are extremely softer and it melts in your mouth. No need to add water while kneading the roti dough, the fatty texture from the avocado itself is enough to knead the roti dough. With a side of cucumber salad and spinach chole, the dinner was perfect with hot Avocado rotis.

Avocado roti dough should be made a little thicker as it would be easier to make the rounds. 

Ingredients 

Ripen Avocado - 1

Salt - As required

Ajwain Seeds - 1/2 tsp

Crushed green chili - 1 medium

Olive Oil - 1 tsp

Whole Wheat Flour - 1 Cup

Bajri Flour - 1/4 cup

NO WATER REQUIRED

Preparation

First, peel the Avocado and add it in the mixing bowl. Smash the Avocado completely and make a smooth paste. Add all the other ingredients into the mixing bowl and knead the dough without adding any water. Keep it aside. After 20 minutes, make a small round and fry the roti on the heated tawa

both sides. Apply little ghee on top of the avocado roti before serving. Enjoy the rotis with good accompaniments. 

Majjiga Pulusu / Mor Kuzhambu without Coconut

Any gravy or side dish made with curd or buttermilk always tempts me. Though I love to make Mor Kuzhambu in my regular meal, sometimes if you run out of fresh coconut or not in a mood to grind the paste for mor kuzhambu, Majjiga Pulusu is the better option. Neither we need fresh coconut nor we need to grind the paste for making this yummy Pulusu. My husband taught me how to make this simple, easiest Majjiga Pulusu using the leftover sour yogurt. You can either make this Pulusu with just onions or with tomatoes, grated cucumber or any veggies of your choice.  Pour this over a plate of hot rice and enjoy this with a side of some spicy potato fry.

When you are making a big meal and if you like to include a gravy item with yogurt, Majjiga Pulusu is a wonderful choice.
