Kheema Paratha | Mince and Cheese Bread

Kheema Paratha or Anda Paratha, you name it anything… is a street food mostly found in Hyderabad or Bangalore especially during the holy month of Ramadan. It is a wholesome dish with a combination of carbohydrates, proteins, and calcium. You can call it a complete meal which you need after the whole day of fasting. Well if it is a street food, then you end up with an unhealthy version of it with lots and lots of oil dripping from it. To make it more healthy, it can be prepared at home.
To make this paratha, you need to make a big size roti and it should be rolled out to make it as thin as a possible. That is a very important step because then the roti will not cook well, especially when it has to be folded.
The mince filling recipe mentioned here can be used for samosas, sandwiches or puff pastries. I usually make it in large quantity and freeze it for quick use.

To make paratha

• Make a normal dough with wheat flour, oil, salt and water as you do for chapattis or roti.
• Beat 2 eggs along with salt, coriander leaves, and chili powder. In a bowl, grate cheddar cheese.

To Assemble

• Heat a non-stick pan and drizzle some cooking oil. Roll out the dough to a thin and large size roti. Let it be as thin as possible. Place the mince filling in the center along with grated cheese and pour a tbsp of egg mixture on it. Take each side of the roti and fold it into a square envelope. Slightly overlap each side. Gently place the paratha on pan and roast on both sides.
