How can I make a stuffed paratha without the filling breaking through the dough?
Keep the filling's moisture and particle size compatible with the dough, distribute it evenly, and avoid stretching the outer layer beyond its capacity. If it begins to tear, reduce pressure rather than forcing it thinner.
Why it happens
Stuffed parathas split when the dough is too thin or dry around the filling, the filling is wet or coarse, or the filling-to-dough balance is difficult to contain.
How it works
The dough must stretch while containing the filling. Excess liquid creates steam and weakens the seam; sharp or large pieces concentrate stress in the thin dough layer.
