Take one ball and roll out with the help of dry flour dusted on it.

Make a small circular shape as shown in the picture below.

Now add 1 tablespoon of grated cheese in the center.

Seal it from all sides and press lightly to make a small round ball.

Now roll out this ball into a paratha of ¼ cm thickness.

Start baking this paratha on the griddle.
