Wash the masoor dals and soak in enough water for at least 30 minutes.

Drain the water and add the dal in a pressure cooker along with 4 cups of water. Cook on high heat for two whistles.

Remove the pressure cooker from heat and let the pressure release. Open the lid of the cooker.
4

Now add jaggery, coconut, salt, cumin powder, a teaspoon of ghee, turmeric powder and cook on a low flame for 5 minutes.
5

Simmer until the lentils soak water and make it a batter like so that it can be used to make the filling of Paratha.
6

Take a large mixing bowl, add wheat flour, sugar, salt for taste, ghee and mix well. Knead dough to a soft consistency just like the chapati dough.

The amount of filling should be equal such that to the consistency of the amount of dough.
