Sauté
Heat 1 tbsp ghee over medium heat; add onion, garlic and ginger, cooking 3 minutes until the onion softens.

Brown
Add ground lamb, breaking it up, and cook over medium-high heat 6 minutes until no pink remains and fat renders clear.

5
Fold
Remove from heat and fold in paneer, moong dal and cilantro; cool 5 minutes before stuffing.

Stuff
Divide dough into two balls, flatten each, add half the filling to one disc, gather edges and pinch to seal; repeat.
7
Roll
Gently roll each stuffed ball on a floured surface into a 6-inch flatbread, working centre outward.

Sear
Heat remaining ghee on a griddle over medium heat; cook flatbread 3 minutes per side until golden-brown with cooked dough.
