Step 4: Press the dough again to flatten it to the extent that the inside stuffing should not come out more.

Step 5: Heat a flat pan on medium flame, add the above paratha on the pan, add some ghee/ oil on it. Let the paratha fry for some time on the both sides.

And so the Paratha with all the garden vegetables stuffing so ready to eat.
