Avocado Paratha, these days I’m spending a lot of time at home, so I decided to experiment in the kitchen. I had one extra avocado left after making some guacamole dip.

It actually turned out great and I enjoyed, but I think it needed a few tweaks. I added some extra spices and it turned out even better.
