Roll and Cook
Divide the dough into equal portions. If using stuffing, flatten each portion, place a spoonful of stuffing in the center, and seal it. Roll it out into a flat disc. Heat a skillet over medium heat, place the rolled paratha on it, and cook until golden brown on both sides, brushing with oil or ghee as needed.
