Method:

For Flatbread or Paratha:

  1. Mash avocadoes in a bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, garlic powder, and red chilli powder. Mix well.
  2. Add flour - little at a time - to form dough. You may need less than 2 cups. I used 1⅓ cup flour. Cover the dough and keep it aside for 15 minutes.
  3. After 15 minutes, knead the dough again. Heat tava/griddle. Make equal size balls out of dough. Get extra flour in a plate fpr dusting.
  4. Take one ball and flatten between your palms. Dip into the flour and start rolling in a circular shape.
  5. As you done rolling, place it on hot tava/griddle. Cook it from both the side by flipping to the other side.
  6. Serve hot.

For Dip:

  1. In a blender, add cilantro, mint, salt, green chillies, and ginger. Make a fine paste. Add a teaspoon water if needed.
  2. Pour the mixture into a bowl. Whisk yogurt with a spoon. Add yogurt to the cilantro paste. Check the salt and if needed, add more.
