Step-By-Step Keema Paratha Recipe
This recipe is quick to make, and when paired with ADF Soul’s Pickles and Chutney, it becomes an irresistible breakfast choice. Let’s take a look at how to prepare it:
Ingredients for Keema Paratha:
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ajwain (carom seeds)
- 1 tablespoon oil or ghee
- Water (as needed)
- 1 tablespoon butter or ghee (for cooking)
For the Keema Filling:
- 250 grams minced meat (chicken, lamb, or beef)
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 1 green chili (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
- Salt to taste
- Fresh coriander (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon oil
Instructions for Preparing the Dough:
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, salt, and ajwain. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Add Oil or Ghee: Add the tablespoon of oil or ghee to the flour mixture. This will help make the paratha soft.
- Add Water Gradually: Slowly add water to the flour mixture, stirring continuously until the dough is soft and smooth.
- Knead the Dough: Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until it becomes elastic and soft.
- Rest the Dough: Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
Preparing the Keema Filling:
- Cook the Keema: Heat oil in a pan and sauté onions, green chilies, and ginger-garlic paste until golden.
- Add Spices: Add garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, and salt. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Cook the Minced Meat: Add the minced meat to the pan and cook until the meat is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Finishing Touches: Remove the pan from heat and mix in the chopped coriander for a fresh burst of flavor.
Rolling and Cooking the Parathas:
- Divide the Dough: After resting, divide the dough into small balls (8-10 pieces).
- Stuff the Parathas: Roll out each dough ball into a small disc. Place a spoonful of the keema filling in the center and fold the edges over to seal.
- Roll the Stuffed Paratha: Gently roll the stuffed dough ball into a flat paratha, dusting with dry flour to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Paratha: Heat a tawa or griddle over medium heat. Cook each paratha for 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crisp.
- Add Butter or Ghee: Brush the cooked paratha with butter or ghee for added richness and flavor.
Tips for Perfect Keema Paratha:
- Filling Consistency: Make sure the keema filling is cooked thoroughly and isn’t too watery, as this can make the dough soggy.
- Rest the Dough: Allow the dough to rest for the best texture and easier rolling.
- Rolling Technique: Roll the stuffed paratha gently and evenly for consistent cooking.
- Use Ghee or Butter: Cooking with ghee or butter enhances the flavor and texture of the paratha.
