Guacamole Grilled Sandwich!

Healthy+Easy+Quick+Tasty Breakfast!
and of course for my love for Avocados!!!

Recently I shared Avocado Parathas!
Did anyone try those? Like it?

It was a typical lazy sunday for me today and I was thinking about quick but different breakfast. G is ever ready to have Poha (which I never made perfectly yet *sob-sob*) and I never liked it!! So after giving dear G his Poha with cold coffee, I decided to try this new recipe. Took risk though, but one of the yummiest sandwich I made!! **smiles**

Well here goes another quick breakfast recipe!

INGREDIENTS:

**For Guacamole:
  • Nice Riped Avocado (roughly mashed) - 1
  • Onion (finely diced) - 1/4th of a medium onion
  • Tomato (finely diced) - 1 little salad tomato
  • Green Chilly or Jalapeño (finely chopped) - to taste
  • Fresh Coriander Leaves (finely chopped) - to taste
  • Lime/Lemon Juice - 1/2 Tbsp
  • Salt - to taste
  • Crushed Black Pepper - to taste
  • note: adding little minced garlic enhance taste

**4 Slice White Bread (you can use brown too for even healthier version)
Little Butter for buttering bread slices

METHOD:
  • To make the guacamole; cut avocados in half. Remove seed. Scoop out avacado from the peel, put in a bowl. Using a fork, mash the avocado. Add rest of the ingredients and mix well.
  • On your sandwich maker/grill/griddle; place buttered bread slices, spread guacamole, cover with another buttered bread slice and cook. note: you may also top your guacamole with grated cheese of your choice, I avoid cheese so didn't use it.
  • Enjoy hot grilled sandwich with tomato ketchup :)

I usually enjoy my Sandwich with either Cold Coffee or Cold Choco Milk!

Avocado Paratha!

Any Avocado lovers here?
I love Avocados! Specially I relish Guacamole.
I was always looking for something more with this. 
It has fat, but thats the good fat our body needs. 
Recently I came across this recipe and thought of sharing it. 
It is full of nutrients, creaminess of avocado and super soft Avocado Paratha!


INGREDIENTS:

Ripe Avocados – 2

Lemon Juice – 2 tbsp
Salt – to taste
Garlic – 2 tbsp, finely chopped
Green Chillies – to taste, finely chopped
Cilantro – finely chopped
Roasted Cumin Powder – 1/2 tsp
Oil – 1 tbsp
Chapati Flour (Whole Wheat Flour) – 2 cups 
Additional Oil – for cooking

METHOD:

  • Peel the Avocados and mash a smooth paste.
  • Mix in lemon juice, salt, garlic, green chilies, cilantro, cumin powder & oil.
  • Add Flour in little at a time and form a dough.
  • Once the dough comes together, drizzle a few drops of oil over the dough ball to coat. Cover and allow the dough to rest for 15-20 minutes. Once you are ready to make the parathas, give the dough one more quick knead.
  • Heat up a tawa/skillet on medium heat and start rolling paratha.
  • Once the paratha is rolled out and the tawa is hot, place it on the tawa.
  • Move the paratha and make sure it does not stick.
  • Allow it to cook- change of color and little bubbles will appear.
  • Flip and drizzle a little Oil and smear it.
  • Flip once again and smear oil and spread it on the other side as well.
  • Allow it to cook for just a minute or less (according to your taste).
  • Serve hot with yogurt and pickle or have it as a chapati.

Enjoy!!
