Knead the dough and divide into 5 portions.
Take one portion of dough and roll it flat as thin as possible with a rolling pin by dusting with some flour.
Take a small ball like Aloo Filling and place one portion of the filling in the center of the dough.
Close all the sides and seal tightly with dough.
Roll it flat again with a rolling pin by dusting with some flour.
In a hot flat pan, cook the paratha both sides by sprinkling some oil or ghee until both sides are golden brown, repeat this for the remaining dough to make more parathas.
