5) Take a rolling board and roll one roti dough half way and keep aside. Now roll another roti dough half way and spread one stuffing inside. Now close this stuffing with already rolled roti dough and press it gently.

6) Seal the edges tightly so that the stuffing doesn't come out while rolling the paratha.

9) Start rolling this stuffed dough carefully by dusting Atta/Wheat flour when required.

10) Heat Roti tawa in medium flame and and put this paratha to cook in medium flame.
