To make Avocado paratha you need following ingredients
Whole Wheat flour : You can use regular whole wheat flour / Atta .
Avocado: you can use fresh or frozen . If you are using frozen you need to bring it to room temperature
Spices : since Avocado alone has any taste, adding spices increase the flavor and taste of the paratha, I used, armchoor powder, garam masala and chili powder
Seeds : Cumin seeds and Nigella Seeds adds extra flavor to avocado chapathi.
First add all the dry ingredients including salt and spices
Then add avocado and water to form a soft dough
Soft pilable dough
Shape the dough into small balls and spread them into 6 inch thickness.
