Take each portion of the dough and roll out to about 2 inch round. Place the potato ball in the middle and seal the ends to make a parcel. Flatten between your palm and dust dry flour. Roll out into medium thick rounds. Set aside.

Heat a tawa and sprinkle little oil. Place the rolled out paratha and cook until brown spots appear. Flip and cook for another 2-3 more minutes to get the brown spots. Serve immediately with yogurt and pickle.
