Please let me know your opinions on this recipe.

Note:

Many people keep the filling on top of one small round puri and close it in all the sides and make it as a dumpling and roll as paratha. There is chance of coming the filling out of it, so I put the filling between 2 small puris and close all the sides with finger so that the filling will never come out so you can roll it smooth. You can follow the way you want. Its completely upto you.

Thank you
