Happy Ugadi to all of you.May this (Hindu) New Year bring you health and happiness!:)

Beet and Avocado Rotis/parathas are my entries to Coffee's Coffee's MBP(March)2007 event! It's all about choosing and cooking dishes from fellow bloggers.This month's theme is "Let's Roll!" Boy, did I roll these beauties?!Thanks for making me Coffee. Deadline is almost upon me,glad I could make it in the nick of time!:)


Cooking anything from other bloggers which involves rolling is the theme this month. I was happy and thought that's easy with all these bloggers rolling out dishes week after week. But NO!! It wasn't easy to choose at all! Aloo, Mooli, Gobi parathas, snacks which are rolled,fried,baked,so many to choose. Then I landed in Maheswari's blog and VOILA!!I found beautiful and unusual Beet Rotis and she also had tried Spice is right's Avocado Parathas.I had hit the jackpot!!!:D

SR from "Spice is Right" blog inspired me to make these green buttery Avocado Parathas; Thank you SR.


Avocados:

The avocado originated in southern Mexico but was cultivated from the Rio Grande to central Peru before the arrival of Europeans.High in monosaturates, the oil content of avocados is second only to olives among fruits, and sometimes greater.Clinical studies have shown that avocado oil can reduce blood cholesterol.More info about these are at Wikipedia.


Avocado Parathas:


Since Avocado reminds me of Guacamole,I added ground green chillies,Cumin seeds pd,Garlic pd,Onion pd ,cilantro and salt.I served this Coconut Chutney for contrast.Since it has already has spices in it,you can also serve these with plain yogurt too.


Maheswari from "Beyond the usual" blog inspired me to make these beautiful Beet rotis/Parathas;Thank you Mahesh.


Beets:

The beet (Beta vulgaris) is a flowering plant in the family Chenopodiaceae,native to the coasts of western and southern Europe.Beets contain significant amounts of vitamin C in the roots,and the tops are an excellent source of vitamin A. They are also high in folate,as well as soluble and insoluble dietary fiber and several antioxidants.More info at Wikipedia.


Beet Parathas:

I made these with ground 1/4 of a Beet and squeezed the juice of it into the wheat flour and added garlic pd,onion flakes,salt,ginger pd and coriander seeds powder.You can add some chilli flakes too.I served these parathas with my own delicious "Death by Jalapenos" chutney!!;D I will post the recipe at FH sometimes later.


That's all folks.Enjoy the colorful and nutritious Rotis and see you in two with Eggs for WBB!:)
