Directions

Description - Step 1

Prepare Dough

Pour oil, salt, and flour into a large basin and mix well. Make a soft, smooth dough by gradually adding water while kneading. Set aside for 15 minutes with the cover on.

Description - Step 2

Cook Keema Filling

Add some oil in a skillet over medium heat. Chop some onions and green chillies and throw in with a teaspoon of cumin seeds. Cook until the onions are browned. Add ginger-garlic paste until it releases its scent. Before they soften, stir in the tomatoes. Toss in the keema, cumin, coriander, and salt. To cook the keema and remove most of the liquid, sauté it for 8 to 10 minutes while breaking up lumps. Sprinkle with chopped fresh coriander and let aside to cool.

Description - Step 3

Shape and Cook Paratha Tacos

Make balls out of the dough the size of lemons. Form a thin circle out of each using a rolling pin. While brushing with ghee or oil, cook the paratha on a hot tawa until brown spots start to appear, but it should still be soft and malleable. While the parathas are still warm, form them into taco shells by folding them over the side of a bowl. Allow them to cool for the taco shells to retain their shape.
