Kheema Stuffed Paratha

Ingredients:
For the paratha covering-
2 cups whole wheat flour (atta),
1 cup maida,
Salt to taste,
2 tbsp melted ghee,
Water for kneading.

For the kheema stuffing-
500gms minced chicken or mutton,
1 onion; chopped,
1 tomato; finely chopped,
Few mint leaves,
1/2 cup chopped coriander leaves,
1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste,
1-2 green chillies, finely chopped,
2 tsp dhania (coriander) powder,
1 tsp jeera (cumin) powder,
1 tsp garam masala,
Salt and Red chilli powder to taste,
Oil for frying.

Method:
Combine all the ingredients for the paratha covering and knead a dough. Use little oil to knead the dough when it is almost ready.
To prepare the kheema stuffing, heat some oil in a pan, add onion and saute till it turns transparent. Add ginger-garlic paste to it and fry for 2 minutes. Then add green chillies, all the spices, mix well. Now add the mince and again mix. Cover and cook till meat is tender and fully cooked. Uncover and add chopped mint leaves and coriander leaves. Add salt, mix well and remove from flame. Let this mixture cool down before you start making parathas.
Make small balls (you make for any paratha) and roll into small puri. Then fill it with a spoonful of stuffing and seal this puri properly. Then dust with flour and roll into paratha. Heat a tava (griddle) and place a paratha on it. Apply some ghee/oil/butter on the top side evenly and then flip it over. Apply some ghee/oil/butter on the other side and roast the paratha evenly from both the sides. Serve hot parathas with any curry or butter.
