Season with salt and throw in lots of coriander leaves and mix well. Remove it to a bowl and allow it to cool down completely.Please make sure that the filling is completely dry..If it is wet we cannot stuff it inside parathas.

Now make the dough.Take flour, salt in a mixing bowl.

Add in water slowly and form into a little soft dough. Apple some oil and knead it to form a smooth dough.Let it rest for 15 mins.

Now divide into equal portions and start making parathas..

Take one dough and spread it slightly. Spoon some filling in and seal from all sides.

Now roll carefully to make into a paratha..

Heat a tawa and cook this paratha on both sides by applying some oil.
