Ingredients
- 500g beef, thinly sliced

- 1 tsp red chili powder
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder

Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Beef
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger paste and sauté until fragrant. Add beef slices, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt. Cook until the beef is browned and tender. Add yogurt and cook for another 5 minutes until the mixture thickens. Set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Chutney
Blend fresh mint, coriander, green chilies, garlic, and lemon juice with a pinch of salt to make the green chutney. Adjust spice levels to taste.
Step 3: Assemble the Roll
Warm the parathas on a skillet. Spread a generous layer of green chutney on each paratha. Add cooked beef, sliced onions, cucumber juliennes, and shredded lettuce.
Step 4: Roll and Serve
Tightly roll the paratha with the filling inside. Wrap the rolls in parchment paper or foil for easy handling. Serve hot with extra chutney or a side of fries.
