Cook the roti/tortilla(s) fully on the griddle. Alternatively, you can only half-cook the roti/tortilla(s) on the griddle. Let them cool down completely. Pile up one above another by placing a cling film to separate each other. Place the pile in a zip lock and put it in the freezer.

If frozen, they can last upto few months. Take them out of the freezer, just place one on a hot griddle. Pan fry each side for approximately 30 seconds and you have them ready to serve.

Step wise pics Procedure for Avocado Roti / Tortilla (Whole Wheat):

Instead of food processor, you can even use a mixing bowl and knead the dough with hands.

**Cut the avocado at the centre. Eliminate the pit, scoop out the pulp with a spoon / remove the outer skin.**

**Take them into the processor / a vessel. Add the whole cumin / jeera, chopped ginger, chopped green chilli as well.**

***Mash up everything into fine paste.***

***Put a griddle on stove top under high flame.* *When its hot, gently transfer this flattened round roti / tortilla onto it.***

Spread few drops of oil throughout(optional). Let it cook on both sides, until you get brown spots here and there.

***Then transfer each into a serving dish.* *Repeat the same for other flattened dough.Done!!***

Tips:

Adjust the salt & spice as per your taste.
You can use either fully ripe avocado or unripe one too.
I used my food processor for making the chapati / tortilla dough, if not you can do the same manually in a mixing bowl using your hands.
You can use any masala powder for flavouring, like curry powder, sambar powder, amchur powder too.
These roti/tortilla can be made ahead and stored in freezer for up to few months. Just reheat them on the tawa/pan before serving.
If not frozen, these stay good up to 2-3 days at room temperature in an air tight container.

These, Avocado Roti / Tortilla (Whole Wheat), tasted perfectly well, even on their own, without any dip / side too.
We had them with Potato Mash Curry /Aloo Tadka / Bangaladumpa Koora as a side and along with Masala Lassi / Indian Spiced Buttermilk .
But my kids ate them as they are. After all, I added the spice & salt to the batter right!
