There is no need for any special side dish for this paratha as it is very tasty on its own. If required, you can have it with curd or pickle or just a simple raita. Today we will learn how to make vegetable stuffed paratha following this easy recipe.

Once cooled, make balls out of the mixture. You will get one or two balls extra. Do not worry.You can keep leftover stuffing  in the refrigerator and use it the next day.

Now make even sized ball out of the paratha dough. Roll out the ball into a small circle dusting wheat flour.

Dust wheat flour and roll out the sealed dough (with the sealed side on the top) into a circle just as you do for chapati but without applying too much pressure. Repeat the same process for the rest of the dough.

Heat a tawa and put the rolled out paratha on it. When you see bubbles forming on the top, spread a tsp of oil all over the paratha and flip it over to the other side. Spread another 1/2 tsp of oil on the other side and cook well until  brown spots appear on both the sides.

      You can make veg bonda or you can mix it with little leftover rice, make a dough, dip it in maida slurry, roll it in bread crumbs and deep fry to make a snack.

    I observed that while rolling, the mixture is popping out and the dough is breaking. Im guessing because of too much moist . Please tell me some tips to correct this
