Whenever the fingers get sticky with dough, just dip them in water and spread the dough. This helps in spreading the dough smoothly. Leave some space near the edges of the leaf, this will help in sealing the patoli.

Once the dough is stretched out, keep some sweet filling on one half and fold the other half and press the edges gently, making sure that it is sealed well.  Do not add too much of coconut jaggery mixture as you will not be able to close and seal properly.
