Spicy Minced Meat Paratha
While a lot of my friends have turned veggie, due to a variety of reasons; mainly health reasons, I still continue with my carnivore’s streak. As I wash down a plate of Biryani with a glass of red wine, I am fully satisfied and it is precisely at this point of time, when I do not have any regrets with life; and I realize an important lesson with deep rooted socialistic manifestation, i.e. if every body had his/her belly full, the world would definitely be a much better place.
It was my love for food, especially non vegetarian cuisine, which took me to places. As I realized more and more about what the world had to offer to my taste palates, I thank god, for everything. Anyhow, I bumped into this restaurant which served a really tasty dish called the spicy minced meat paratha. After ravishing it, I was back to what I usually do, i.e. to figure out the recipe of a dish I like. So the following is the recipe of this wonderful dish.
Ingredients
- 3 cups whole-wheat flour
- 2 cups spicy minced meat
- Ghee or vegetable oil
Preparation
- Take a large mixing bowl and put the flour in it. Now, add water to it and knead the whole-wheat flour into smooth, medium-soft dough and keep aside for an hour. Add more water if required. If you have added more water than what is required, then in that case, you can add a bit of flour to it.
- Now, divide all the dough into equal sized balls. Flour a clean surface and flatten each ball out into a small circle.
- After this, put about 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoon of the spicy minced meat into the center of the circle and fold the edges over to cover the filling completely. Gently press to seal and roll to form a ball.
- Now flatten the balls into the shape of a large circle. Most prepare flatten out as many Parathas as they like, stacking them, ready to cook with a layer of plastic film between each paratha.
- Now, heat a griddle and cook the Parathas one at a time on it. Keep cooking till you see tiny bubbles rise on the surface of the paratha. Now flip the paratha and grease a bit vegetable oil and ghee on the top and spread well over the surface of the paratha. Now flip again after half a minute and grease this side with vegetable oil and ghee on this side as well. Repeat the process till both sides of the Paratha are crispy and golden brown.
Your spicy minced meat paratha is ready to serve. Serve it with chutney, yoghurt, or simply ketchup. Spicy minced meat paratha is an extremely tasty dish and is best for special occasions.
