Divide into three equal parts.

Step 3

Take out one portion of  the dough  and make a cup like we make it for modak. Put one filling in it and seal it properly and ensure that the filling does not come out.

Press between your palm,  dust some flour and pat it with your fingers to flatten the same.  Do  not use rolling pin.  Be careful that the filling does not come out of the covering.

Step 4

Heat a tava, grease with oil or ghee. Put the paratha on it and  cook  both the sides.  Apply ghee or oil as you wish.  Repeat the process for the rest of the dough.

How to serve:

Note:  You can also add some dry fruit powder in it for making  more healthy.  Since we are using fresh pomegranate, the juice  makes the filling bit loose hence be careful while filling and sealing to ensure that the filling does not come out.
