Avocado-Carrot Paratha

Ingredients:

• Wheat flour / Atta - 1 cup + 1 tbsp for rolling
• Avocado, ripen - 1 no
• Carrot, shredded- 1/4 cup
• Lime/ Lemon juice - 1 tsp
• Cumin powder - 1/4 tsp
• Chat masala - 1/4 tsp
• Chilli powder - 1/2 tsp (Optional)
• Salt - to taste
• Water - 1-2 tbsp (if required) 
• Oil -for toasting parathas

Method:

1. Take the pulp from the ripened avocado in a bowl, add lime juice, salt, masala powders and chilli powder, mash together until well combined
2. If you're making for kids, you can omit chilli and masala powders / or add just the chat masala
3. In a wide bowl, take the wheat flour, shredded carrot and the avocado mixture, knead together to form a smooth and soft dough
4. The moisture from the avocado will suffice for the dough and only if required sprinkle water for kneading
5. Keep the dough covered and let it rest for at least 30 mins
   
6. Divide the dough into equal lemon sized balls, dust them with flour, roll them to circular parathas. the dough would be very soft to roll into thin circles
7. Heat the tawa, place the parathas and cook till bubbles started to appear on the surface; Turn over and cook the other side
   
8. Once it's cooked, spread a little ghee / oil on the paratha and transfer to plate or place it in hot box till you serve
   
9. These parathas are really very soft and tasty; you can have it with any raita / gravy of your choice  
   
10. Since chat masala has salt in it, while adding salt adjust accordingly
