Pliable Dough

After kneading the dough, cover it with a wet cloth and allow it to rest for at least 20-25 minutes. This will ensure that the dough remains soft and fresh.(Also Read: How to Make The Best Lachha Paratha at Home)

The next important step is to prepare the stuffing for the paratha. The stuffing should be at room temperature before you start filling it inside the dough. If the stuffing is hot, it might end up squeezing out at the seams.

Get Rid Of Excess Moisture

Be it aloo, gobhi, broccoli or any other stuffing, one has to be careful about the amount of moisture in it. If you don't want your parathas to crack open at the seams, make sure that the water has been completely squeezed out from the stuffing. Apart from this, the mixture has to be properly minced without any big lumps.(Also Read: 10 Best Paratha Recipes)

While cooking the parathas, make sure that the skillet is properly heated otherwise it will stick. Also, avoid flipping it multiple times. Allow one side cook well and then flip it to cook the other side.
