Overlapping Parathas / Chappathis

                                  Overlapping Chappathis is a name given by me to the stuffed Parathas where the filling is kept in between two Parathas and pressed again.This can be taken as a sand witch and comfortable to be taken inside the vehicle at times when we run short of time.
