    Instructions

    Make the Dough

    • Mix honey in the warm milk. Add milk to the flour mix. Mix well so milk is well distributed amongst the flour.
    • Slowly add warm water, little bit at time to form the dough. It should be like phulka roti or pizza dough like consistency. Once dough is formed, coat it with 1 tbsp of oil and cover it with towel and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
    • After letting it sit for 30 minutes, uncover the dough and knead it to smooth consistency, Use more oil if it starts to get sticky.
    • Make 10 same size dough balls. Cover them and let it sit until you are ready to roll the paratha.

    Make the Stuffing

      Make Mushroom Keema by following linked recipe, this can be made ahead of time. Making it ahead of time (day before) helps keema to firm up, which helps making the stuffing firm!

      • Right before making the paratha, Mix mushroom keema (cold or room temp) with shredded amul cheese, chopped onions & peppers, chopped cilantro & mint.
      • Make even sized 10 balls. Keep them aside. Cover them with wet towel if there is a long time before making the paratha.

      Roll the Paratha

      • Massage one dough ball between your palms to smooth it out. Dust it with dry flour (wheat/all purpose/rice flour).
      • Start to roll it. Once half way rolled (double the size of keema filling ball), place one keema filling ball in the center.
      • Start to bring the edges together and pinch the dough ball, making sure the filling is nicely covered with the dough.
      • Discard the access dough you might have left after pinching it together.
      • Roll the dough ball between your palms and gently press it down between your palms to flatten it. Dust it with dry flour.
      • Start to roll it as thin or thick you desire.
