Easy Keema Paratha Recipe
Prep parathas - In this recipe, you will be replacing the classic paratha dough with frozen parathas. You’ll need to thaw the parathas before stuffing and cooking. Again, don’t remove the sheets covering the parathas.
Stuff and cook parathas - Layer some keema mixture on one thawed paratha and top with another paratha. Use a rolling pin to roll out lightly so the parathas will stick together. Now, you can cook it in a pan or skillet. Apart from keema mixture, you can also stuff the parathas with your favorite filling.
