You can follow any method which is comfortable for you


Make medium sized balls from the dough. Roll it out into a small circle.You can dust rice or wheat flour to prevent the dough from sticking to the rolling pin or board.

Place a tbsp of stuffing on the top of a rolled out circle and spread the stuffing evenly.(picture 1)

Then place another rolled out dough on top of it and seal the corners by pressing it lightly. (Picture 2)

Now roll it out gently with the stuffing inside to a circle approximately 7 inches in diameter dusting wheat flour.(picture 3)

Heat a tava and put the rolled out paratha on it. Wait for bubbles to appear, apply a tsp of oil (oil + ghee mixed) on the top and flip it over to the other side. Cook both sides well till brown spots appear.(picture 4 )

Repeat the same process for the rest of the dough.

Serve it with curd or pickle or chutney. Enjoy making this delicious gobi parathas at home.
