Steps to make Veg Kebab Paratha
Start by putting big cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves in the gram dal and let it boil in the cooker till 4 whistles (low flame). Do not add more than a cup of water to the dal.
When it is boiled properly, remove the species from the lentils and separate them.
Grind the boiled dal in a mixer grinder.
Now dry roast whole coriander, red chilli, black pepper, and cumin and grind them roughly
Add these spices to the lentils and mix well.
Now make tikkis and bake them on the pan or you can also deep fry the kebabs well from both sides.
Now add salt, curd, baking soda, and refined oil to the flour and knead the dough. Keep the dough for half an hour.
To make paratha, turn the pan upside down and keep it on the gas.
Keep the flame low and roll out thin parathas by taking a dough ball.
Roast this paratha by applying refined oil to the pan.
Now all you have to do is make a roll by adding green chutney, pickled onions, and 2 kebabs to the paratha and serve it hot. You can also use boiled kidney beans instead of chana dal.
