2.Take the mashed aloo mixture and make similar sized balls as dough patties and keep them aside.
3.With the help of rolling pin roll the dough patties into 3 inch diameter circle ,take the aloo mixture and keep it in the center of the circle and take it into your hand , carefully close all the sides and make a ball.
4.Repeat the process and stuff all the balls and keep them aside for about 5 min.
5.Mean while take a pan/skillet set it on medium high.
6.Keep dry wheat flour in a cup . Lightly press the ball on the sealed side and keep it on the topside when rolling.Roll the wheat balls in the dry flour and roll them carefully with the help of rolling pin , make 6 inch circle and after the pan is hot add some oil and put the parata on the pan/skillet.
7.Flip the parata and you should be able to see brown spots on it.Cook on other side,once its done keep it aside in a plate/aluminum foil.
8.Repeat the process until all the paratas are done and serve them hot .
9.If you want to freeze them for future use, wait until all the paratas are cold and keep them in zip lock bag and freeze it. You can heat them once again when ever you are hungry.
Can be served with raita/curd & pickle/curry of your choice.
