  • Salt, to taste

For the Masala Base

  • Β½ tsp cumin powder

For Binding & Finish

  • 2 tbsp oil

  • ΒΎ cup lukewarm water
    (or milk / yogurt for extra softness)

  • 2 tbsp finely chopped cilantro (coriander leaves)

🍽️ Instructions

    In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, chili powder, and cumin powder.

  • Add Avocado –
    Fold in the avocado paste until the mixture turns uniformly green.

  • Roll & Cook –
    Divide into small balls, roll into rotis, and cook on a hot griddle until light brown spots appear on both sides.
    (No extra oil needed β€” avocado releases natural fat.)
