    I make Aloo paratha weekly for Aj’s(my kiddo) lunch box. The other parathas except cabbage paratha make rare appearance in my kitchen.

    I am trying peas paratha also known as matar ka paratha for first time and found it damn easy and tasty too.

    Aj loved it and I have packed it for his lunch box today. He likes all the edible stuffs that’s green in color. He thinks green means healthy and never says no.

    Peas paratha or Matar ka paratha

    Ingredients

    Wheat flour - The dough is made out of wheat flour, which is usually Indian atta commercially available. Depending on the flour's quality, the texture of paratha also varies.

    I buy Ashirwaad atta or Pillsburry Gold (Not sponsored). Some people also buy whole wheat berries and make their own. My parents does that.

    So see what might work for you and choose it.

    Peas - Green peas is available in winter freshly in abundant. We also get it here in Singapore. I buy, clean and freeze it and use when needed.

    These days we get it off season as well. You can use fresh or store bought frozen peas as well.

    Other ingredients

    • Oil/ ghee
    • Ajwain (carom seeds)
    • Green chilli
    • Ginger
    • Garam masala

    See recipe card for full list, measurements.

    Rolling

    Paratha can be an easy 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.

    To roll paratha easily, make sure the prepare dough that is not tight. It should be soft and pliable.

    Both the stuffing and the dough should be of more or less same consistency.

    Especially the stuffing should be not too moist. If it is sticky then rolling will definitely a problem.

    If it is sticky and oozes out while rolling then your dough is denser and stuffing is too soft to blend with it.

    Add some bread crumbs in the stuffing to make it non sticky. You can also roll in flour to reduce stickiness.

    Top tips

    Micorwaving gives moisture free cooked peas and really easy to handle while rolling.

    You can also steam, pressure cook or boil. Make sure to spread over a kitchen towel to get rid of excess moisture.

    They are healthy, not to mention. Just keep a watch on the oil or ghee that goes in while making.

    • 3 Green chilli
    • 2 Inch Ginger
    • ¾ teaspoon Garam masala powder - ¾ tsp
    • ⅛ teaspoon Turmeric powder - ⅛ tsp

    For dough

    • 1.25 cup Wheat flour 1 & ¼ cup
    • 1 tablespoon Oil
    • Salt & water - as needed
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    Make dough

    • Take flour, salt and oil in a mixing bowl firstly.
    • Add luke warm water and mix little by little to get a soft non sticky dough.
    • Keep aside for 10 minutes minimum. Knead again to smooth.
    • Divide in to equal sized balls.

    Stuffing

    • Pressure cook peas with a pinch of sugar mixed, don’t add water. Cool down.
    • You can also microwave for 2 to cook peas, without adding water.
    • 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 same as dough.
    • Roll thick disc first and keep the stuffing inside.
    • Cover the stuffing and make a ball. Roll it out with generous dusting with flour and make thick parathas.

    Cooking

    • Heat a tawa and place rolled paratha immediately over it.
    • Cook on both sides until golden spots appear. Drizzle oil or ghee after it gets half cooked.
    • This gives soft results. Do not cook in low flame for long time, which will make chewy/ harder paratha.

    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.
    • The dough and stuffing both in equal size balls gives good balance of them and tastes great.

      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.

      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.

    66. RAKS KITCHEN

      February 03, 2013 at 10:16 am

      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..

      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 🙂
