Keep this dough aside for 30 mins to 1 hr covered.Keep a check on the saltiness of the dough as the squeezed out water has salt in it also.
 
  • Prepare the stuffing and divide it into 6 equal portions and shape them into balls.
 
  • Now divide the dough into 6 portions. Roll these dough balls into a small circle and place the stuffing in the center .Bring the dough ball together around the stuffing and seal it properly.

  • Flatten the prepared ball with your finger tips,then roll them into big circle.The parathas should be rolled thicker than the usual chapati.
  • Shift the rolled parathas onto a hot griddle/tava and roast them  on medium-high heat until you see brown spots brushing little ghee on either sides .
  •  Serve the hot yummy parathas with raitha and pickles of your choice.
Notes:
  •         The amount of water depends on the quality of  flour used.
