• Now divide the chapatti dough into equal parts and roll into smooth balls.Flour the surface and roll the chapati dough slightly thicker. Then add a generous spoon full of Gobi filling and gather the dough from all sides sealing it properly.
• Now again flatten it slightly with your palms and then start rolling gently. Roll it without the filling oozing out. Dust flour so that it doesn't stick. Heat a dosa tawa , transfer the Gobi parathas, drizzle little oil and cook on both sides.
