  • Flatten the dough and then use the dough to cover the ball of filling.
  • Flatten and roll using a dusting of whole wheat flour to abut 1/2 cm or lesser thickness.
  • Heat the flat pan and place the paratha rolled out on the warm pan.
  • Gently cook the flatbread on both sides by flipping the bread when necessary.
