- 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
- 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.
