How to get your parathas right

• Step

  1

  

  Start by preparing the paratha with only half the amount of stuffing.

• Step

  2

  

  Roll the dough into 4-5 inch diameter discs.

• Step

  3

  

  Place 2 tbsp of filling.

• Step

  4

  

  Gather the outer edges of the disc and bring them together like a potli purse, holding the stuffing in place and pinching the edges to seal and create a flattened disc.

• Step

  5

  

  With lightly oiled fingers, and not a rolling pin, flatten the disc further with the least amount of pressure until you have a 6-8 inch diameter. This way you are guaranteed not tear the dough or squeeze out the stuffing from the paratha.
