Ingredients

For the Dough:

  • 300 g Plain Flour
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 100 ml Water Warm
  • 50 ml Oil

For the Filling:

  • 250 g Minced Meat Lamb
  • 1 Onion Finely chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 tsp Ginger Grated
  • 1 tsp Cumin Powder
  • 1 tsp Coriander Powder
  • 1 tsp Garam Masala
  • 1 tsp Chilli Powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil

For the Paratha:

  • Flour for dusting For dusting
  • Ghee For brushing

Instructions

  • Combine the flour, oil, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Gradually add warm water and knead the mixture into a smooth dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté onions, garlic, and ginger until the onions become translucent.
  • Add minced lamb to the pan and cook until browned, using a spoon to break up any lumps.
  • Mix salt, cumin, coriander, garam masala, and chili powder into the pan with the lamb and stir well.
  • Let the lamb mixture cool to room temperature.
  • Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each into a ball.
  • Flatten one dough ball and put a tablespoon of the lamb mixture in the centre. Fold the edges of the dough around the filling and pinch them together to seal.
  • Dust the stuffed dough ball with flour and roll it out into a thin disk about 6-7 inches in diameter.
  • Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat and brush it with a little ghee or oil.
  • Cook the paratha for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Repeat steps 7-10 with the remaining dough and filling.
  • Serve hot with yogurt or chutney.
