Every paratha has its own distinct taste. They are very filling and there are tons of options for filling and flavours. As of now, I have shared with you all paneer paratha, aloo paratha, onion paratha, sev paratha etc and today it’s these delicious Peas Paratha.

To Make Peas Paratha You Need 2 Main Elements

• Dough made from wheat flour – a basic dough like the one we make for chapati..  whole wheat flour (atta), salt, oil and water are mixed and kneaded to make soft pliable dough. Making the dough is very easy and you can either knead with hands or in a stand mixer.
• Peas stuffing – Fresh/frozen peas are mashed. Since these are seasonal soft green peas, they don’t need to be boiled. To the mashed peas, some spices and salt are added. The spiced peas mixture is then allowed to cool and then stuffed in a dough, rolled and roasted.

Few Tips to follow while making Peas Paratha 

• One can use either fresh peas or frozen. Paratha made from seasonal fresh peas tastes best.
• If you want can add little onion too and temper along with green chilli.
• Besan here acts as a nice binding agent. If you want can add or skip or use little mashed potatoes.
• It is important that always the stuffing for parathas should be dry. Also, the stuffing has to be in room temperature before filling. Else liquid will ooze out while rolling
• While rolling for the first time don’t give more pressure in the centre as the filling is going to be placed in the centre. Roll very gently and dust the flour as reqd. Centre be little thick and edges little thin. Roll the paratha with light hands and go from one side to the other while rolling.

So are you ready to make a note of winter special Peas Paratha … Here you go …
