Ingredients You’ll Need:
For the Dough:
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- Water as needed
- A pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon oil
For the Chicken Keema Filling:
- 250 grams chicken mince (keema)
- 1 medium-sized onion, finely chopped
- 2 green chilies, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- Salt to taste
- Fresh coriander leaves, chopped (optional)
For Cooking:
- Ghee, butter, or oil as preferred
How to Make Chicken Keema Paratha:
Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, add the whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually mix in water and knead to form a soft, pliable dough.
- Add a tablespoon of oil to make the dough smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rest for about 15–20 minutes.
Cook the Chicken Keema Filling:
- Heat a pan and add a tablespoon of oil or ghee.
- Once hot, add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
- Sauté chopped onions until golden brown, then add the ginger-garlic paste and green chilies. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Add chicken mince to the pan, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until the keema turns white and is no longer raw.
- Mix in turmeric, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Cook for an additional 5–7 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and aromatic.
- Turn off the heat and let the filling cool. Stir in fresh coriander leaves if desired.
Assemble the Parathas:
- Divide the dough into equal-sized balls (about 6–8, depending on size preference).
- Roll out each ball into a small disc. Place a spoonful of the chicken keema filling in the centre.
- Gather the edges of the dough to seal the filling and shape it into a ball again.
- Flatten the stuffed ball gently and roll it into a paratha, taking care not to tear the dough.
Cook the Parathas:
- Heat a tawa (griddle) or non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Place the rolled-out paratha on the hot tawa and cook for about 1–2 minutes until bubbles appear. Flip and apply a little ghee, butter, or oil on the cooked side.
- Flip again, applying ghee to the other side, and cook until golden brown and crispy.
- Repeat for all parathas.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve your hot chicken stuffed parathas with:
- A bowl of chilled yogurt or raita
- Fresh mint or coriander chutney
- A side of pickles for an extra tangy kick
Tips for the Perfect Chicken Paratha Recipe:
- Keep the Filling Dry: Ensure that the chicken keema filling is not watery, as excess moisture can make it difficult to roll the parathas.
- Rest the Dough: Resting the dough is essential for better elasticity and ease of rolling.
- Cook on Medium Heat: High heat can burn the parathas before they’re properly cooked, while low heat might make them chewy. Stick to medium heat for the perfect golden-brown texture.
- Experiment with Spices: Feel free to adjust spices to suit your taste, or add a hint of lemon juice for extra tanginess in the filling.
