Now, take the wheat flour, add 1 tsp of oil and little bit of water and keep kneading it by adding water until it turns into a soft dough. (Remember, the secret of making soft and good parathas lies in the kneading of the dough.)

Once you are done with kneading divide the dough into 4 or 6 equal balls. Take 1 dough ball, roll it with your rolling pin. Add 2-3 tsp of stuffing in the centre(do not overfill) and bring all the edges together and pinch to seal. Now, again roll the dough to a circle with your rolling pin into 6-7 inches diameter.
Heat a pan, place the paratha on it and cook it for 1 minute then flip over the paratha and apply ghee on the cooked side, again after 1 minute flip over the paratha and apply ghee to another side and cook for 1 minute or until the sides have golden brown spots. Repeat with remaining dough.
