How to make dough for paratha:
In a mixing bowl, add whole wheat flour.
Add salt to taste, add oil, mix up well.
Add water gradually, mix and knead into a soft pliable dough.
Rest the dough aside for 20-30 minutes.
Method 1 for making paratha:
Take a small portion of the dough, make a round ball.
Thin all the sides of the edges of the dough ball.
Press the dough ball at the centre.
Fill with the potato stuffing(1 tbsp) at the centre.
Gather all the edges and bring the edges at the centre and seal.
Dust some flour on the rolling board.
Place the dough ball and flatten the dough into a round circular disc very carefully.
Heat the tawa.
Place the paratha on the tawa.
Cook the bottom side.
Flip it and apply oil all over the paratha.
Flip again and apply oil on the other side too.
Make sure both the sides of the paratha are done well.
Take the paratha out.
Method 2 for making paratha:
Take 2 round balls of dough.
Make 2 chapathis.
Take one chapathi and place the potato stuffing( 3-4 tbsp) at the centre.
Spread the filling all over the chapathi.
Place the other chapathi over the filling.
Seal the edges of both the chapathis so that stuffing does not come out.
Dust some floor on the rolling board, press and flatten the paratha using a rolling pin.
