To make the Keema filling for Mughlai Keema Paratha
Heat a kadai on medium flame, add the oil and once the oil is hot, add in the ginger, garlic, green chillies and saute for about a minute.

Next add the onions and continue to sauté till they turn into a deep golden brown colour.

to this add the keema and curd together and mix well.

Simmer the gas and add salt, coriander powder, turmeric powder and 1 teaspoon of thee allspice mix and mix thoroughly. Close the lid and let the kheema cook through until soft and tender.

Ensure that the keema mixture is not too dry yet moist.

To assemble the Mughlai Keema Paratha
Heat a non stick tawa . Pinch a large portion of the dough, make a ball between your palms.

Dust it with flour and start rolling it out into a roti. We need about a 7 inch diameter roti

Place the roti on the heated tawa. Immediately spread 2 to 3 tablespoon of beaten egg evenly on the roti.

Place two tablespoons of the keema mix and place on the centre of the roti over the beaten egg.

Now carefully close all sides of paratha to make a square, by folding the curves over the keema and towards the centre.

Add oil from sides and shallow fry the parathas till they are golden and crisp from all sides.

Transfer the paratha to the serving plate and serve hot.

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