Take 1/2 cup dry wheat flour in a small plate for dusting.Take one dough pattie and coat it with dry wheat flour on both sides.Put it on rolling board making board/chakla and roll it out into a circle of approx. 4-5 inch diameter using the rolling pin.Put one portion of stuffing in the center of it.
