Cook down the zalouk until it reduces to about one and a quarter cup. Setaside.
Add the flour, salt, and zhoug to your standmixer. Sprinkle with water and knead a smooth dough. Cover and rest for 15-30 minutes.
Divide the dough into 8 portions.
Roll each portion into a 9-in disc. Spread about two tablespoons of reduced zalouk. Fold in the form of an evelope. Repeat with remaining dough portions.
Heat a cast-iron pan. Place a rolled paratha pocket and cook over medium flame for one to one and a half minute drizzling quarter teaspoon oil. Flip and cook for about one and a half minute drizzling oil. Cover and cook during this process. Cook until you have brown spots all over to ensure complete cooking of the layers. Repeat with the remaining parathas.
Serve warm with hummus, yogurt, pickle, dal, or as such.
