Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ lb ground lamb
  • 1 medium, diced yellow onion
  • 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 small (or 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes) green chili, finely minced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • ½ cup plain yogurt

Instructions

  1. 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. 2

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

  3. 3

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

  4. 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. 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. 6

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