Carrot Paratha

I love the parathas. I am trying different kinds of parathas now. Sometimes it is difficult for me to roll out the parathas with the filling.So this time i made it different.I first rolled out the dough just like we make for chappathi .Then i spread the filling on one half , just folded it . Again pressed and rolled out a little and it came out well. The best part is the filling didnot comeout much .
