How to make paratha

• Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. Take one ball and dust it with some flour. Roll it out into a small circle. Place a spoonful of the aloo mixture in the center of the circle.
• Bring the edges of the dough together to cover the aloo mixture and form a ball. Press down gently with your hands.
• Roll out the ball into a flat disc, about 1/4 inch thick. Heat a tawa or griddle over medium heat. Place the paratha on the hot tawa and cook until small bubbles start to appear on the surface.
