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.
Peas Paratha recipe
Recipe Cuisine: Indian | Recipe Category: Lunch
Prep Time: 15 mins | Cook time: 15 mins | Serves: 2
Prep Time: 15 mins | Cook time: 15 mins | Serves: 2
Ingredients
Frozen peas – 1 & ½ cups
Green chilli – 3
Ginger – 2 inch pieces
Garam masala powder – ¾ tsp
Turmeric powder – ⅛ tsp
Ajwain/jeera – 1 tsp
Chopped coriander leaves – 2 tbsp
Lemon juice(optional) – 1 tsp
Salt – as needed
Green chilli – 3
Ginger – 2 inch pieces
Garam masala powder – ¾ tsp
Turmeric powder – ⅛ tsp
Ajwain/jeera – 1 tsp
Chopped coriander leaves – 2 tbsp
Lemon juice(optional) – 1 tsp
Salt – as needed
For dough
Wheat flour – 1 & ¼ cup
Oil – 2 tblsp
Salt & water – as needed
Oil – 2 tblsp
Salt & water – as needed
Step by step method:
- First make the dough and let it rest for 10 mins minimum, mix flour with salt and oil and add warm water to make a soft and smooth dough.
- Pressure cook peas with a pinch of sugar mixed,don’t add water. Cool down.
- Grind green chilli and ginger first roughly and then add the green peas and grind coarsely.
- Mix salt,garam masala,turmeric,ajwain,coriander leaves and lemon(if desired) with the peas and make equal sized balls out of both dough and peas stuffing.
- Roll thick circle and keep the stuffing inside and cover the stuffing and make a ball. Roll it out with generous dusting with flour and make out thick parathas.
- Cook on both sides until golden spots appear,with oil/ghee drizzled over.
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 .

Love the green hue of the parathas. Nice filling. waiting for the peas season to get started.
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.
Loe the green parathas. Any stuffed parathas are so much more welcome in my household!
just so yummy 🙂

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!

Hi Raji,U r an expert cook Dear.These deliciously made Peas Parathas tell that.Luv the recipe too.
That paratha looks perfect..Lovely colors.

Paratha luks perfect with layers and peas…
I always thought that grinding the peas would make it get a floury texture.. but it doesn't look that way at all. Looks great. I'll try and hope my little ones like it too – it's not always easy to please them.
Healthy and yummy parathas..looks beautiful..

hi
can we add normal peas….which we buy from market..n boil it with little water?
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.

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?
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.
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..
Nope, I pressure cooked as such directly from the freezer
looks yummy.. thanks for the recipe.. 🙂
Hey Raks,
h r u….likd ur recipes…especially parathas…my kid likes them….tried peas sorry but with sprouted moong…came out well..my 2yr old kid likd very much..thank u…looking forward to more kids SPL
Hi Raji Akka,
I just tried my first stuffed paratha… And it came out well in taste. As i was having only poori press, the shape of peas paratha was not upto the mark 🙂 Still my kid loved it.
thanks for the recipe 🙂
I have just started writing a blog to archive my trials 🙂 i have posted it in my blog too 🙂
