Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix flour with 0.5 tsp salt and 2 tbsp oil. Add yogurt and 2-3 tbsp water, knead into a soft dough. Rest 5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Brown lamb in a skillet over medium-high, breaking it up as it cooks, until no pink remains, about 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add diced onion, ginger-garlic paste, and green chili. Cook 2 minutes until fragrant, then stir in garam masala and cilantro.

  4. Step 4

    Divide dough into 4 balls. Roll each thin on a floured surface, spread 2 tbsp filling on one half, fold and seal edges.

  5. Step 5

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in the skillet over medium-high. Pan-fry each paratha 2 minutes per side until deep golden and crispy.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot with yogurt, fresh lime, and sliced onion on the side.
