WHAT IS A PARATHA?

A paratha is a flat bread originated in South Asia,prevalent throughout areas of India,Sri Lanka,Nepal,Pakistan and Bangladesh where wheat is the traditional staple.Paratha us an amalgamation of words parat and atta,which literally means layers of cooked dough.
It can be made with both atta i.e wheat flour or with all purpose flour.In this dish we used all purpose flour.

We made a spicy stuffing of chicken mince and stuffed into the flour doughs. You can also use mutton keema / mutton mince.You can simply use boiled chicken and spices to make the stuffing or you can use some leftover kebabs 😋😋😋.The difference will be just in case of kebabs you will need less spices and in case of boiled chicken more spices.
