Instructions

  1. Step 1

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

  2. Step 2

    Stir in diced onion, ginger-garlic paste, and garam masala; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Set filling aside.

  3. Step 3

    Mix flour with water and salt to form a soft dough; knead 1 minute, then let rest while filling cools slightly.

  4. Step 4

    Divide dough into 2 balls, roll each into a 6-inch circle, spoon half the lamb filling onto one half, fold over, and seal edges.

  5. Step 5

    Pan-fry each paratha in the same skillet over medium heat until golden and crispy on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.

  6. Step 6

    Plate parathas, dollop yogurt and pickle alongside, add cucumber and onion slices, and serve with a lime wedge.
