I came to know about this dish through one of my friends. New recipes, new food names always excite me and for more details I googled about it. I came across a few recipes and saw some pictures as well.<\/p>\n<p>After my little research, I learned that murthaba is basically meat stuffed paratha. There are 4 parts for making murthaba- making the meat filling, making the dough, folding the meat filling into the rolled dough and pan frying them.<\/p>\n<p>You could use chicken, mutton or beef filling for making this. I made beef filling and folded in the rolled dough and pan fried it. The filling along with the paratha tastes delicious.<\/p>\n<p>I believe there are different ways of making murthaba. In some places they\u00a0layer the meat filling and rolled dough alternatively till there are 3 or 4 layers and then fold them together.\u00a0I didn&#8217;t do many layers, folded the meat filling on a single layer of rolled dough and folded into a triangle shape.<\/p>\n<p>I adapted this recipe <a href=\"http:\/\/cookbookjaleela.blogspot.com\/2011\/12\/stuffed-mutton-kheema-murthaba.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">from here<\/a>.
