Ingredients
For the Green Pea Filling:
For the Dough:
- 2 cup Whole Wheat Flour atta, whole
- ¾ - 1 cup Water add as needed to form a soft dough, approximately
- 2-3 tbsp Ghee ghee, for cooking
Instructions
Prepare the Green Pea Filling
- Grind green peas, ginger, and green chilies into a smooth paste using a food processor or blender.
Sauté the Filling
- Heat oil in a pan. Add the green pea paste, salt, and carom seeds. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and slightly cooked.
Make the Dough
- In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Assemble and Cook the Parathas
- Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a 6-inch circle. Spread a spoonful of the green pea filling evenly over the center.
- Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape, then gently press the edges to seal.
- Roll out the stuffed dough into a slightly thinner circle (about 5-7 inches).
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or tawa over medium heat. Cook the paratha on both sides, applying ghee to each side as it cooks, until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve
- Serve the Matar Ke Parathe hot with butter, ghee, yogurt, or your favorite chutney.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Matar Ke Parathe
- For a smoother filling, you can strain the green pea mixture after grinding to remove any excess fiber.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a little more water.
- Don't overcook the parathas, as this can make them dry and hard. Cook them until golden brown and slightly puffed up.
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of garam masala or other spices to the green pea filling.
