Notes

1. To prevent the aloo/potatoes from sticking to the rolling pin/bhelan, always roll the paratha on the side with the stuffing(check below)

2. Do not roll the parathas with the hot stuffing in it, the stuffing will be too sticky & the parathas won't come out good.

For those of you who requested the video of dough making, I promise to post it soon.
