- For making paratha add wheat flour, refined flour, salt, yogurt and clarified butter. Knead the dough well by gradually adding the required volume of water.
- Using the fist of your hand push it gently and firmly into the dough. Fold the edges of the dough into a ball. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
- After enough rest, knead the dough again to reduce the surface moisture.
- Make smaller balls and apply some oil. Dust some flour to avoid sticking the dough with the dough roller or the surface.
- Roll down the dough on the flattened surface into round paratha halves.
- Spread the cheese filling mixture on one half and cover it with the other half. Roll the layered both halves down to make up a perfect bond.
