4. Now spread 3/4 tbs of pizza sauce on one, add toppings (about 1 tbs), add cheese on top (1/2 tbs), and then seasoning.
5. Lay another circle of the same size on top. Seal the edges carefully.
6. With the help of a rolling pin, roll a little bit more (until it reaches approx. 6" diameter)
7. On heated griddle lay the paratha at medium low temperature
8. After 10 seconds turn it over
9. When it's golden-brown turn it over again
10. When it's golden-brown on both sides, it's done.
11.Serve warm. 
12. Repeat the same procedure for all parathas.

*Topping suggestions: very finely cut - onion, garlic, bell peppers, pineapple, jalapeno, green onion, olives, paneer etc. (no tomatoes)
*If you want parathas crispier adjust heat lower(@25-30%).
