- Spread a spoonful of the prepared filling evenly over the center of each circle.
- Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Gently seal the edges.
- Roll out the semi-circle again to form a slightly flattened oval.
- Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Cook the parathas on both sides until golden brown and slightly puffy, brushing with oil as needed.

- If your dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a little more water.
- Don't overcrowd the griddle; cook the parathas in batches to ensure even cooking.
- For a richer flavor, use ghee (clarified butter) instead of oil.
