Divide the dough into equal size balls. The above measurement makes about 7 – 8 parathas.
Roll the dough onto a small circular roti with hand and make sure that the edges are thinner than the center portion.
Place about 1 ½ tsp of the stuffing on the roti and close the filling to make a round shape as shown in the picture.
Now roll it as a regular roti with a rolling pin dusting with dry flour. Take care that the stuffing is not burst out.
