Stuffing a paratha without tearing it requires the right technique to ensure even distribution and a perfectly cooked result. Follow these steps to make soft, delicious parathas with intact fillings every time. 

Step 1

Knead your roti dough to a soft consistency and let it rest for 15-20 minutes to become pliable. 

Step 2

Roll out a large, thin roti, about double the size of your usual one, ensuring it’s even. 

Step 3

Spread your filling (e.g., grated paneer, onions, spices) in the centre, leaving a 2-inch border around the edge. 

Step 4

Fold the edges towards the centre, covering the filling from all sides. Lightly roll the stuffed paratha until the filling is evenly distributed. 

Step 5

Place on a hot tawa, cooking both sides with a little ghee until golden brown.
