• 3 divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each into a 3 inch circle. put 1/6 of the filling mixture into the center of each circe of dough and gather the edges of the dough up to the center to seal the filling inside a ball.
• 4 allow the balls of dough to set for 3-4 minutes and then press the ball of dough and dust it with whole wheat flour and lightly roll it into a 6 inch circle. dust with more flour if it becomes sticky when you are rolling it.
• 5 heat a skillet on medium heat and put the parantha in the hot skillet. when it starts to puff after about 30 seconds, turn it over and spread with about a teaspoon of oil. flip it again and lightly press with a spatula to make sure it is evenly browned on both sides.
