.Knead again using oil till smooth and divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
.Roll out each portion into 100 mm. (4") diameter circles using a little wheat flour for rolling.
How to proceed
.Divide the stuffing into 4 equal portions and keep aside.
.Place a dough circle on a clean, dry surface and place one portion of the stuffing in the centre, fold the edges over the stuffing to make a square.
.Press it lightly to seal the stuffing, flatten the dough and roll out again into a square of 125 mm. (5") using a little flour for rolling.
.Heat a tava (griddle) and cook the paratha on both sides, using a little oil till both sides turn golden brown in colour.
.Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 3 more parathas. Serve hot with a dollop of butter.
Handy tips:
1.In the dough, instead of spinach, you can add chopped greens like shredded cabbage, fenugreek leaves etc for a variation.
2.One can add tofu and mint in the stuffing instead of paneer.
