Mint & Avocado Multigrain Paratha

I dont bother to make parathas with different combination of ingredients everyday for our dinner, yep most of our dinner goes for healthy parathas or oil-less rotis...This time i tried making a flavourful,delicious,guilt free, easy at the same time healthy paratha using few healthy flours along with rolled oats,chopped mint leaves and mashed avocado puree, adding avocado to the rotis turned them simply soft and delicious..Also to give more flavour, i went for few caraway seeds since am hosting my own event Cooking with seeds with caraway seeds as this month's special seed..Just serve this paratha with a delicious side dish like paneer butter masala or a spicy chicken kurma..
Do look at Srivalli,Reva,Monika,PJ,PriyaVaasu,Jay,Azeema,Ayeesha,Veena & Soumya for their delicious recipes throughout this month since we are running blogging marathon..

Mint & Avocado Multigrains Paratha

1+1/2cups Wheat flour
1/2cup Pearl millet flour
1/2cup Rolled oats
1/4cup Ragi flour
1/4cup Barley flour
1/4cup Soya flour
2tbsp Chopped mint leaves
1no Avocado (pureed)
1tsp Caraway seeds
Salt
Oil
1/2cup Yogurt

Take all the flours,oats,chopped mint leaves, pureed avocado,caraway seeds with enough salt, gradually add the yogurt and enough warm water to turn everything as soft and stiff dough..keep aside for half an hour,knead again and make 10-12balls from the dough..dust with flour and roll as parathas using the rolling pin..

Heat a tawa,drop gently the paratha,drizzle oil and cook on both side until the brown spots appears,serve warm with any sort of side dish..
