Peas-paratha-recipe
Stuffed parathas are easy to make, but only if you know the knack of rolling. If you learn that, then you can make it easy for lunch box for kids and even easy for dinner meals. They are healthy,not to mention. I weekly make Aloo paratha for Aj’s(my kiddo) lunch box. The other parathas except cabbage paratha make rare appearance in my kitchen. I am trying peas paratha for first time and found it damn easy and tasty too. Aj too loved it and I have packed it for his lunch box today. He likes all the eating stuffs that’s green in colour. He thinks green means healthy and never says no.

Notes

  • Pressure cooking without water means, place the peas in a container and keep it inside the cooker and give two whistles. You can take it as ‘Steaming’. The idea is to keep the peas dry. 
  • Always make sure the stuffing and dough to be of same consistency. Otherwise there will be difficulty in rolling out.
  • Making dough with oil and warm water will ensure soft paratha.
  • Making dough and stuffing both in equal size balls gives good balance of them and tastes great.

Serve with the comforting curd and pickle or any vegetable or boondi raita as side dish .

  24. I too make these parathas Raji..and sometimes poori as well with this filling. It's great that your kid likes to have green stuff..mine runs miles away if she spots anything green in her platter.

  26. According to me, peas parathas are the simplest to make & yet very very tasty. I add a big pinch of chat masala to the aloo & peas paratha.

  38. Great post! How old is Aj? He seems to be a very responsible kid and very wise too if he doesn't say no to green veggies.
    I have bookmarked your cabbage paratha because my daughter cannot have too much of peas and legumes.
    This is a great way to keep kids healthy. Thanks!

  59. hi….
    I tried many paratha varieties. But always I used to find difficulties in rolling. Your tip "stuffing and dough should be of same consistency"
    helped me. This time it was soo easy to roll. Thank you very much.

  65. very nice recipe,,, but still i have a doubt. the thing is reg.peas.. which peas should be used?? the one readily available in stores wich is hard or the odr one we get from garden in wich we ll remove it frm a pea blanket?

  66. You can use both. If you are using the dried peas (hard), soak overnight, drain water and pressure cook with little water, make sure u drain water well before you proceed with the recipe. If you are using garden peas, you can follow the same above method.

  67. Hi, While using frozen peas, should we have to let them come to the room temp? I think my stuffing became a little bit watery as I did not allow it to come down to normal. I saved my day by adding some wheat flour to the stuffing. Even though the shape wasn't good, the taste was yummy!.. My kid liked it very much..
