Ingredients
- Whole Wheat Flour: 2 cups
- Green Peas (fresh or frozen): 1 cup
- Ginger (grated): 1 tsp
- Green Chili (finely chopped): 1 (optional)
- Cumin Powder: ½ tsp
- Garam Masala: ¼ tsp
- Coriander Leaves (finely chopped): 2 tbsp
- Mint leaves: 1 tbsp (crushed and dried)
- Salt: to taste
- Water: as needed
- Oil or Ghee: for cooking
Preparation
In a bowl, mix whole wheat flour and a pinch of salt.
Gradually add water and knead into a smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Boil or steam green peas until soft. Mash them using a fork or blender.
Heat a pan and sauté ginger and green chili for a minute. Add mashed peas, cumin powder, garam masala, and salt.
Cook the mixture for 2-3 minutes until it becomes slightly dry. Stir in coriander and mint leaves and let it cool.
Divide the dough and filling into equal portions.
Roll out a dough ball into a small circle, place a portion of the filling in the center, and seal the edges to form a ball.
Gently roll out the stuffed ball into a paratha.
Heat a tawa (flat griddle) and place the rolled paratha on it.
Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, applying oil or ghee, until golden brown spots appear.
Serve: Serve hot with yogurt, pickle, or chutney.
Servings: Makes 6-8 parathas.
Notes
- Ensure the filling is not too wet to avoid tearing the dough while rolling.
- Adjust spices in the filling to suit your taste.
