6. Repeat for all the parathas.

• Be careful while rolling the parathas. First roll it thick and place the stuffing. If you roll it thin, it will easily spill out the stuffing.
• After stuffing, make sure you place the thick side ( dense dough) on the bottom. It prevents from sticking at the bottom.
• Don’t skip oil while making parathas. Use little oil as needed.
• Green chilli and garlic are optional.
