@Farah,
Here r few tips:
if you find it too difficult to roll the parathas with stuffing, add ¼-½ cups of maida/all purpose flour when kneading the dough. Maida gives little elasticity to the dough and helps in rolling the stuffed parathas without the stuffing oozing out.

The filling should be dry or else it will ooze out when you roll it into paratha. So may be the tamarind water u added made the filling little wet and that may be one of the reason why it started oozing out. next time substitue tamarind water with little lime/lemon juice or simply use dry mango powder.

@Anjali,

ur aloo parathas look so delicious... which variety of aloo do u use for making these parathas? the kind of aloo which i use turns out to be very sticky after its boiled and mashed.. i used the brown aloos called michigan's best potatoes. :(

I am always on the lookout for aloo paratha recipes. And your recipe is so unique and delicious sounding.

I think milk makes a lot of difference in roti/paratha softness. The day I forget to add milk, I tend to serve a "Poppadam-version" of the usual soft stuff!

Thanks for this lovely recipe Sia, I will let you know how it turned out after I try it over the weekend.

Your prose had me swooning, too, but your pictures absolutely slayed me -- gorgeous! I've never made parathas but this is bookmarked as my training page! Wonderful entry.

hahahaha! Am glad your "Love"ly fairy tale has a happy ending! Guess almost everyone have to work hard for the Mr.Right. And you are smack on Geography lessons! I learnt abt them more with my chapathis than from the ones they conduct at school ;-).

I realised too after few months of trying that it was more to do with atta and preparing the dough with right consistency :)

Am glad you found your "Hero" at last! Now you and also your other Hero ( who for once wont be so J at ur discovery! )can relax in peace :)hahaha

Thanks for sharing your handsome find with me ;-) and sending him along..I am luving him too ..hehehe
