  4. Roll out the wheat dough into a chapatti.
  5. Add half tsp of the besan mixture and spread it onto the chapatti.
  6. Fold the chapatti slowly and tightly, as if you were making a French Roll, making sure the besan mixture does not fall off.
  7. Fold the roll again, to give it a round shape.
  8. Make sure to fold the corners first so that the besan mixture doesn’t come out.
