Avocado Paratha

Avocado Paratha !!

Avocado Paratha recipe is an Indian Whole Wheat Flatbread prepared by kneading whole wheat flour and avocado pulp together with few spices. It comes out very soft, requires less oil and healthy. It is perfect for breakfast or kids lunch box.

I usually make Guacamole when there are avocados at home, but if you have over-ripened avocados and thinking of Indian recipes ,these parathas are the go to solution.
