Divide the dough in small balls. Roll out the balls using a rolling pin in thin flat round shape. Put a spoon full of filling on the round puris and fold from sides into half to form a semi circular shape.
 
Apply the binding mixture on the edges and press both the edges together. Roll the edges upward so that they don’t open up (refer picture).
