Flip the other side over to cover the stuffing.

Once the paratha is cooked, increase the heat and apply some butter to the paratha on both sides and fry on both sides

Notes

This paratha will go well with yoghurt or mint chutney. What I did was create a dip from hung curd and mixed finely chopped mint leaves to the hung curd.
