1 cup amaranth flour or jowar flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp crushed red chilies and oregano
1 tbsp oil
1 free-range egg beaten or 2 tbsp sattu flour

Notes

Avocados are a great source of lutein, carotenoids, zeaxanthin, alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, and tocopherol (Vitamin E).
Adding beetroot and pumpkin puree makes it rich in fiber and excellent for digestive health too.
