• Mix all ingredient well and the stuffing is ready.

Roasting of a paratha

Cover all sides of stuffing with edges of dough. Dip into flour and roll gently and evenly from all the sides. Keep paratha little thick than chapati/roti.
• Roast paratha well from both sides. Apply ghee on it while roasting. Serve paratha with rayata, pickle or tomato ketchup.
