• Add salt to wheat flour. Add hot water in small instances and knead well.. Make balls out of the dough.. Roll out chapathi dough for 2 inch diameter with the help of flour..  Place the stuffing inside and throw some flour over the stuffing.This is done to avoid the stuffing from coming out.

• Close the stuffing and remove the excess dough.

• Shape the dough with hands so that dough completely covers the stuffing..Roll out the dough with the help of flour.

Heat Dosa pan.. Place rolled out chapathi on the pan.. When its cooked on one side, turn it to other side.. If you wish add Ghee, Butter or oil.. I didn't use anything..

Serve it with curd or pickle..
