Notes

Tested Tips from My Kitchen

Always mash the avocado thoroughly to avoid lumps in the dough.
Use minimal water for kneading, as avocado adds natural moisture.
Resting the dough makes rolling easier, but it will become soggy if left to rest for an extended period.
If you plan to store the dough in the refrigerator, knead it with as little water as possible to prevent it from becoming too soft and sticky.
When preparing parathas from refrigerated dough, add more dry flour to adjust the dough consistency as needed.
Cook on medium heat for even browning without drying the paratha.
