3. Roll a portion into a 5" diameter circle using whole wheat flour for rolling and grease it evenly using little oil.

4. Fold the 2 opposite corners of the roti towards the centre, without overlapping them. Now fold the other 2 opposite corners similarly to make a square envelope.

5. Sprinkle 1 tbsp of mint leaves evenly over the envelope and press it lightly so the mint sticks to the paratha.
