Divide the mixture into small  balls and keep it aside.

Making Paratha:-


Divide the dough into small balls.

Roll the dough into 3 inch diameter circles.Place the potato balls in the center.Seal by pulling the edges of the rolled dough together to make a ball.Prepare with rest of the dough.

Dust the working surface with some flour and roll out the stuffed dough to form 6"-7"diameter circles.

Heat a tawa and once its hot,place a paratha and let it cook for 15 secs.Flip the paratha and let it cook for a few more secs.Once light brown spots appear,dizzle some oil or ghee and roast to a golden shade on both sides.Use a spatula to press the puffed areas as the paratha gets roasted.

Serve hot with any curry of your choice or yogurt or raita.
