Ingredients

  • 4 frozen Malay-style parathas*
  • 2-3 cups Keema Matar* recipe linked in the Notes section

Instructions

  • Heat a non-stick frying pan on medium-low heat and warm up a paratha on one side.
  • Once the paratha starts to turn slightly translucent on the top, add a generous amount of the filling on one half of the paratha.
  • Slowly fold over the other half of the paratha and press down to form a sandwich. Let the paratha cook and crisp on the bottom on low to medium heat before turning it over. Cook the paratha on the other side as well till crisp.
  • Cut into half and serve warm.

Notes

* The chicken Keema Matar used as the filling in this recipe can be found here
* For store bought ready made frozen parathas, I prefer using these ones from the Shana brand. 
* If you want other options instead of chicken, you can also use Masala Egg Bhurji, Paneer Bhurji, Masala Mushroom and Sukhe Aloo (Sauteed Potatoes)  as Murtabak fillings. In a pinch, you can also substitute the ground chicken in the Keema Matar recipe for textured ground soy.
