Avocado Roti / Paratha

Avocado Paratha
Paratha is a great way to include some veggies in our everyday diet, especially when your little one does not eat something like creamy Avocado guacamole. The soft and moist avocado flesh makes the parathas very soft and flaky. What I love about this fruity flat-bread is its easy to make, its oil free and my kiddo loves it. Roll the paratha with some sautéed potatoes and your child will love it even more.

Ingredients:
Avocados - 2 
Durum Wheat Flour/Atta - 2 cups
Ginger Garlic Paste - 2 tsp
Green Chili Paste - 1/2 tsp
White Sesame Seeds/Til - 1 tsp
Aamchur/Dry Mango Powder - 1 tsp
Coriander/Cilantro Leaves - few sprigs
Oil or Butter or Ghee (optional)
Salt
Avocado

How to make Avocado Roti or Chapati or Paratha:
  • In a big mixing bowl, scoop out the soft flesh of two ripe avocados. Mash the avocados well. Next, add finely chopped cilantro leaves, aamchur powder, sesame seeds, ginger garlic paste, green chili paste and salt. Mix all the ingredients well.
  • Now, add the flour, little at a time and keep kneading until you get a soft dough. For 2 ripe avocados, I used 2 cups of flour. You might need less or more flour depending on the size of the avocados.
Avocado Roti
  • Let the dough rest for 30 minutes. Divide the dough into 10 parts and roll each one between your palms into a round ball.
  • Sprinkle some flour on the board and roll each dough ball as thin or thick you like. Roast both sides of each rolled avocado roti on a tawa/griddle until brown spots appear. Apply some butter or ghee if you like.
Serve hot Avocado Paratha with yogurt or any curry of your choice.
Have a great day guys! See you soon.

Indian Dal / Lentils

Lentils, known as Dal are a staple in an Indian diet, especially vegetarian. For me, dal is comfort food. 5 different dal varieties - Toor, Moong, Chana, Masoor and Urad are commonly used in Indian sweet and savory delicacies. You can cook dal with just one kind or a mix of two or more. I generally cook dal with 1:1 Toor and Moong dals. But then, we like Panchmel or Panchratna Dal too, which is made of all five. Most dal recipes have Toor dal as the primary ingredient. It is also known as Toovar or Arhar dal or Split Pigeon Peas . Some of our family favorite dal recipes are Dalitoy (Konkani Dal)  Tadka Dal Among all lentils, moong dal and masoor dal take lesser time to cook. Moong dal is also known as Split Green Gram or Split Mung Bean . Moong dal is also used in making sweet dishes like Mung Dal Kheer  Mung Dal Puranpoli Chana dal is also known as Split Bengal Gram or Split Chickpeas . Chana Dal takes a little more time to cook as compared to toor dal....

Naval Kol Bhaji / Kohlrabi Stir-fry

Green Kohlrabi called as Navalkol in Marathi and Navilkosu in Kannada, belongs to the cabbage family.  My Mom used to make this stir fry very often.  Just like cabbage, this vegetable in available in two colors - green and purple.  I was quite hesitant about the purple one, as I haven't seen that back in India.  Anyway, I picked the green bulbs and Navalkohl Bhaji with Chana Dal was part of our healthy vegetarian meal today.

Surti Val Papdi Bhaji

My Mom used to make Val Papdi Bhaji in a simple way with few ingredients. This is the first time I gave it a try here in my US kitchen. This stir fry does require little more oil, as no water is added for cooking. Dal Rice tastes great with this sauteed Papdi.  I tried this Bhaji once with frozen Surti Papdi and I was not happy with the result. I prefer fresh Papdi for this recipe, which I can only find in the local Indian store. I am not sure if Val Papdi is called as Navy Bean or Fava Bean in English.
