Method
-
1
Carefully shred the pre-cooked Smoked Beef Brisket into fine, tender strands using your hands or two forks. Set aside.
-
2
Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it turns golden brown and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
-
3
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and chopped green chilies. Cook for another minute until their pungent aromas fill your kitchen, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

4
Add the shredded brisket to the pan, along with cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, ensuring the brisket is evenly coated with the vibrant spices and slightly crisped.
-
5
While the brisket simmers, heat a separate non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add a Malabar Paratha directly to the dry pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown spots appear and the layers puff up, applying a little oil if desired for extra crispness.
-
6
Repeat the paratha cooking process for the remaining pieces, stacking them on a plate to keep warm.
-
7
Taste the spiced brisket mixture and adjust seasonings if necessary. Garnish generously with fresh coriander.

Serve the hot, flaky Malabar Parathas alongside or filled with the rich, aromatic Spiced Brisket. A dollop of yogurt or a fresh raita makes a delightful accompaniment.
For an extra kick, gently mash some of the spiced brisket to create a finer texture, perfect for stuffing directly into the parathas before cooking. Leftover brisket filling can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and makes for a fantastic quick lunch.
