Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1. Prepare the Beef Kebab Filling
- Wash and mince the beef. Roughly chop onions and green chilies. Roast gram flour until fragrant. Soak papaya (to soften the kebabs). Combine minced beef, chopped onions, garlic (with peel), roasted gram flour, chopped coriander, green chilies, salt, and whole spices (cloves, cardamoms, rose petals, black pepper, nutmeg, bay leaf). Fry the whole spices separately with onion, ginger, coriander and dried chilies until fragrant. Add cashew nuts, almonds, pistachios and coconut powder. Mix well.
- In a bowl, combine the minced meat mixture with the fried spice mixture and pounded green chilies. Add the chopped onions, coriander and roasted gram flour. Mix thoroughly. Let it rest.
Step 2. Prepare the Paratha Dough and Fry
- In a bowl, combine refined flour, milk, sugar, refined oil, and egg. Add salt to taste. Mix well to form a soft dough. Let it rest for at least half an hour.
- Divide the dough into small balls and roll them into thin circles like rotis.
- Heat a frying pan on medium heat. Apply oil to the paratha and fry until golden brown on both sides.
Step 3. Fry the Kebabs
- Shape the kebab mixture into patties. Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the kebabs until golden brown on both sides.
Step 4. Assemble the Beef Kebab Paratha Roll
