- 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:

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.
