Mughlai Keema Paratha is a classic recipe of street food found on the streets of Bengal of a stuffed paratha with a layer of egg and spicy mutton keema wrapped to make a lifafa-envelope style flaky parathas

This paratha is then shallow fried and cooked until crisp. Although the traditional recipe calls for mutton keema you could also use chicken keema if you like. 

Serve Mughlai Keema Paratha by cutting it into little squares along with Dhaniya Pudina Chutney and pickled onions  for a weekend lunch or dinner.

Editor's Notes:

Note:

You can take all purpose flour and wheat flour in half - half measurement or can also make parathas with complete APF or complete Wheat flour. I chose half of both. 

Vegetarian version of this paratha can be made by using soya mince and you an also add some finely chopped vegetables into it to get more volume and nutrition.
