Step 1
Brown ground lamb in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking apart with a spoon, ~4 minutes. Drain excess fat, stir in garam masala.
Step 2
Mix flour with 0.5 tsp salt and 3 tbsp water until a soft dough forms. Divide into 4 balls, flatten each, fill with lamb, fold sealed, and flatten again.
Step 3
Pan-fry parathas in the same skillet over medium heat, 2–3 minutes per side until golden. Set aside.
Step 4
In the same pan, add crushed tomatoes, 0.5 cup water, and a pinch of salt. Simmer 3 minutes, then stir in cream until silky.
Step 5
Meanwhile, boil rice in salted water until tender, ~12 minutes. Drain and toast with 0.5 tsp cumin seeds in a small pan.
Step 6
Plate paratha, dal, and jeera rice together. Serve hot.
