Avocados are a great source of healthy fat and eating them makes you feel full for a longer time. Including them regularly  in the diets gives a lot of health benefits according to science. So i have been including avocado in our diets frequently in the forms of salad, smoothies and rotis. 

Before moving on to the recipe, let's check out FAQs.

Does the colour of the avocado roti change after cooking?

No ! So far, i have kept this roti at room temperature for about 6 hours and it doesn't change its color.

Does the dough change its color when you keep it for a longer time? 

Yes ! The dough color starts to change after around 20 mins. So i highly recommend to make this dough when you're ready to make roti. However, after cooking, it won't be in dark brown color.

Can i add any other spices to it ?

Yes, of course. You can add chili powder as per your spice level and some garam masala for the flavor. Or you can squeeze a little bit of sriracha sauce while making dough. 

If you add more spices, then you don't even need side dish, a simple raita /yogurt would be enough

Ok, now let move on to the recipe.

Avocado Mango & Pear Salad | Salad Recipe

Avocado Mango & Pear Salad, a healthy and quick to put together salad.Last year i had seen few salsa recipes for tortilla chips on pinterest using avocado & mango, i loved the idea of using avocado and mango together, both are my most favorite fruits and immediately tried it and fell in love with the combination. Later i thought instead of serving them as a salsa for chips, they themselves make a great salad.
To make them as salad, i kind of felt that it need some crunchy element in it. First i had tried it with apples, but didn't like the combination much, second, it tried it with some pears, OMG, it turned out so good, the flavors of fruits complement each other well and really love the combination. If you're making this as salsa for chips, no need to add pears, the chips itself gives enough crunchiness to the creamy salsa. But if you're planning to have them as salad like me, highly recommend to add the pears. Try out the combination and thank me later :-)

Baked Avocado Rolls with Phyllo dough | Avocado Spring Rolls | Appetizers

Baked Avocado  rolls , a delicious snack with crispy outside and creamy avocado inside. It's a perfect appetizer for your meal or a snack to munch on along with your evening tea. It's one of the easiest snacks that you can make in minutes provided that you have phyllo sheets. 

When we visited BJ's restaurant for the first time a couple of months back, we ordered the avocado egg rolls for the appetizers and that's the first time that i had tasted avocado rolls and i loved it so much. Crispy outside and creamy avocado filling make it so good.It's been in my mind for a long time to try these crispy rolls and finally last week I tried this Avocado Rolls, instead of using egg wrapper as pastry, I used the phyllo dough that's sitting idle in my refrigerator for a week. Since I was using phyllo dough, I baked the rolls instead of deep frying, one more reason to indulge these rolls without any guilt 😀.
