Ingredients:

For the Dough:

2 cups whole wheat flour

Water, as needed

Salt, to taste

For the Mutton Kheema Filling:

1 cup minced mutton

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 medium-sized tomato, finely chopped

1 green chili, finely chopped

1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste

1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

1 teaspoon red chili powder

1 teaspoon garam masala

Salt, to taste

Fresh coriander, chopped (for garnish)

Ghee or oil for cooking

Instructions:

Prepare the Dough:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and a pinch of salt.

Gradually add water and knead the mixture into a soft, elastic dough. Cover the dough and let it rest while you prepare the filling.

Prepare the Mutton Kheema Filling:

In a pan, heat oil and sauté chopped onions until golden brown.

Add ginger-garlic paste and chopped green chili, cooking until the raw aroma disappears.

Add minced mutton and cook until it's browned.

Stir in chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Cook until the mixture is well-cooked, and the flavors meld together. Garnish with fresh coriander.

Forming the Parathas:

Divide the rested dough into equal-sized balls.

Roll each ball into a small disc and place a generous portion of the mutton kheema filling in the center.

Sealing and Rolling:

Bring the edges of the dough together to encase the filling, creating a stuffed ball.

Gently roll the stuffed ball into a flat, round paratha, dusting with flour as needed.

Cooking the Mutton Kheema Parathas:

Heat a griddle or flat pan over medium heat.

Place the rolled paratha on the hot surface and cook until both sides are golden brown, applying ghee or oil as needed.

Serve Hot:

Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls.

Serve the Mutton Kheema Parathas hot, paired with yogurt, pickles, or a side of mint chutney.

Indulge in the rich flavors of spiced minced mutton encased in soft, whole wheat layers. Mutton Kheema Parathas offer a delightful culinary experience, making them an excellent choice for a satisfying and flavorful meal.
