Hi Friends,
Today I am sharing with you Mughlai Paratha recipe. It is a famous and popular street food in Kolkata. For making the food I used Mutton keema, you can use Chicken or Soya keema also. Mughlai Paratha is very tasty to eat and the process of making the dish is not difficult.
Cooking time – 45 minutes. Serve – 4

Ingredients – For the Paratha
1.Flour – 250 grams.
2.Baking powder – 1/4 tsp.
3.Salt – 1 tsp.
4.Oil – 2 tbsp.
5.Egg – 4
Method –
Take a large bowl, add flour,salt,baking powder and 2 tbsp.of oil. Mix well. Add water and knead well until it forms a very soft dough.Cover the dough with a wet cloth. Keep aside until use. After few minutes knead the dough again and divide into 4 equal parts and make balls. Take one ball in rolling board and using oil roll out as thin as possible.
Place a griddle on medium heat,spread 1 tbsp.of oil. Place the thin paratha on it. Spread one beaten egg on the paratha and 1 tbsp.of keema mix in the middle. Fold the paratha gently both sides to the center to cover the keema fillings. Then fold other two sides to center to form a square.
Press the paratha gently, spread 1 tbsp.of oil and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip it up, spread 1 tbsp.of oil,press gently and cook for 2 minutes. Take out from the griddle.
Repeat the same process with rest of the flour balls. Mughlai Paratha is ready to serve. Place the paratha in a serving tray,cut into four portions and serve with any gravy (Mutton/Chicken/Potato)
