How to make Hairyali Tacos | Hairyali Tacos recipe:
As the name suggests, Hariyali Tacos have lots of greens (minced palak, coriander and pudina) in the dough for the colour. For the filling, avocado salsa is the best option but if you can't find it, a simple sprouts salad topped with mint chutney will work absolutely fine. Put all the greens together in a grinder and make a paste, to this add some salt and garlic powder. Take a cup of all-purpose flour, add some cornmeal to it and knead the dough. Roll out tiny rotis and cook as you would cook your rotis and then keep them aside. Now for the filling, if you have an avocado then mash it and add the sprouts, chana salad that you have prepared, squeeze some lemon on top and enjoy your Hariyali tacos! For a more desi twist, use your salad for the filling, add some mint chutney instead of salsa, and the final squeeze of lemon.
