Keema Paratha
Keema Paratha is a centuries old authentic Indian dish. Over the years, it has been enjoyed as much by the common people as by the royalty. This grand dish was served as a side dish to the well-known Mughal emperors in the bygone eras. Keema Paratha is an Indian flatbread stuffed with minced meat. The keema is first marinated with yoghurt (dahi) and cooked with an aromatic blend of spices, which can be added according to flavour. This minced meat filling is then stuffed into paratha dough and cooked nicely. The marination and cooking of the meat is an integral part in the recipe. The meat should be rendered tender by the curd and spice marinade. It should be ensured that all the moisture is removed from the meat stuffing by cooking it properly. For the paratha dough, I have combined all-purpose flour (maida) and wheat flour (atta) together. While stuffing the paratha dough, make sure that it does not spill out of the chapatti, and seal it gently. These chapattis are then cooked on a greased hot pan until they turn crispy golden-brown. Keema Parathas can be served hot with any pickle (achaar) or curd (dahi). So get ready for a royal experience with every bite of this wonderful paratha.
