Ingredients

  • 250 g Whole Wheat Flour
  • 150 g Green Peas boiled and mashed
  • 1 Onion finely chopped
  • 2 Green Chillies finely chopped
  • 1 tsp Ginger grated
  • 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
  • 1 tsp Garam Masala
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1 tsp Chilli Powder
  • Salt
  • Coriander chopped

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour with a pinch of salt. Gradually add water and knead into a smooth dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
  • Add grated ginger and chopped green chillies. Sauté for a minute.
  • Add mashed green peas, garam masala, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, and salt to taste. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let the filling cool down.
  • Divide the dough into equal-sized portions and roll each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball into a small disc.
  • Place a spoonful of the cooled green peas filling in the center of each disc. Bring the edges together and seal the filling inside the dough.
  • Gently roll out each filled dough ball into a paratha, ensuring the filling spreads evenly.
  • Heat a skillet or tawa over medium heat. Place the rolled-out paratha on the hot skillet and cook until brown spots appear on one side.
  • Flip the paratha and spread a little ghee or oil on top. Cook until both sides are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling to make more parathas.
  • Serve hot Matar Parathas with yogurt, pickle, or any side dish of your choice.
