For Keema Paratha:

  • 2 Cups Whole wheat flour (atta), plus extra for dusting
  • 250 Gm Minced meat (mutton, chicken, or beef)
  • 1 Onion, finely chopped
  • 2 Green chilies, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp Ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 tsp Cumin powder
  • 1 tsp Coriander powder
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp Red chilli powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

For Cucumber Mint Raita:

  • 1 Cup Plain yogurt
  • 1 Cucumber, grated
  • 2 tbsp Fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin powder
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour with a pinch of salt and enough water to knead into a soft and smooth dough.
  • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

2. Prepare the Filling:

  • Heat oil in a pan and add the finely chopped onions. Sauté until translucent.
  • Add the ginger-garlic paste and green chilies, and cook until aromatic.
  • Add the minced meat and cook until it turns brown and any liquid evaporates.
  • Stir in the cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt to taste. Mix well.
  • Cook the mixture for a few more minutes until the spices are well incorporated and the filling is dry.
  • Garnish with chopped cilantro leaves and set aside to cool.

Prepare the Cucumber Mint Raita:

  • In a bowl, whisk the plain yogurt until smooth. 
  • Add the grated cucumber, chopped mint leaves, cumin powder, and salt. Mix well to combine.
  • Refrigerate the raita until ready to serve.

Assemble and Cook the Parathas:

  • Divide the dough into equal-sized balls and roll each ball into a small circle. 
  • Place a spoonful of the cooled meat filling in the center of each dough circle.
  • Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to enclose it completely and roll it out into a flatbread.
  • Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and cook each paratha with a little ghee or oil until golden brown and crispy on both sides. 

5. Serve:

  • Serve the hot Keema Parathas with chilled Cucumber Mint Raita on the side.
  • Garnish the raita with a sprinkle of cumin powder and fresh mint leaves for extra flavor. 
  • Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures in every bite of this mouthwatering dish!
