Ingredients:
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 green chili, finely chopped (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/4 teaspoon ajwain (carom seeds)
- Salt to taste
- Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
- Water as needed

Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- Cut the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Mash the avocado until smooth.
- Add finely chopped onion, green chili, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, ajwain, salt, and chopped coriander leaves to the mashed avocado.
- Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
- Make the Dough:
- Add whole wheat flour to the avocado mixture. Mix well to form a dough.
- Add water gradually, if needed, to bring the dough together. The avocado will add some moisture, so you might not need much water.
- Knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
- Roll the Parathas:
- Divide the dough into small balls.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a round paratha.
- Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
- Cook the Parathas:
- Heat a griddle or tawa over medium heat.
- Place a rolled paratha on the hot griddle.
- Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook the other side.
- Drizzle a little oil or ghee around the edges and cook until both sides are golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining parathas.
- Serve:
- Serve the avocado parathas hot with yogurt, pickle, or any chutney of your choice.
