Ingredients
Scale
2 cups whole wheat flour
Water as needed (for dough)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons oil or ghee (for cooking)
250g minced meat (chicken, lamb, or beef)
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger, grated
1 green chili, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
Salt to taste
Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
Instructions
In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Add water gradually and knead into a soft dough. Cover and rest for 20 minutes.
Heat a pan and add cumin seeds. When they splutter, add onions, garlic, ginger, and green chili. Sauté until onions are soft.
Add minced meat, turmeric, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Cook until meat is browned and fully cooked, with no moisture left. Let it cool.
Stir in chopped coriander leaves and set aside the filling.
Divide dough into equal balls. Roll out each ball into a small circle.
Place a spoonful of the keema mixture in the center, bring edges together to seal, then gently roll into a flat circle again.
Heat a tawa or skillet. Cook the paratha on both sides until golden, brushing with oil or ghee as needed.
Serve hot with yogurt, pickle, or chutney.
Notes
Ensure the keema filling is dry to prevent the paratha from tearing.
You can make the dough in advance and refrigerate it.
For a vegetarian version, use spiced mashed potatoes or paneer instead of meat.
