- Flatten the stuffed dough ball with your hands and roll it gently into a round paratha, dusting with flour if needed.
- Heat a tawa or griddle over medium heat. Place the rolled paratha on the tawa and cook until golden brown spots appear on one side.
- Flip the paratha and spread a little ghee or oil on the cooked side. Cook until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the tawa and repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.
- Serve hot with yogurt, pickle, or any side dish of your choice.
