- For the dough
- 2 cups atta (whole wheat flour)
- 1 tsp salt
- For the filling
- 1 cup matar (green peas) - boiled and mashed
- 2 green chillies- minced
- Salt to taste

Cooking Directions
For the dough, take flour in a bowl and mix salt. Add water to knead into smooth dough. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 20- 25 minutes.
Heat oil in a pan and add ginger and green chillies. When they turn light brown, add matar. Add salt and spices. Cook for 10-12 minutes on low heat till pea mixture turn dry. Let it cool down.
Take a ball (peda) out of the dough and roll into a 3-4 inch disk. Place 2 tsp pea mixture in the center. Gather the edges of the disk and seal it so that mixture doesn’t come out.
Roll out gently into a 7-8 inch disk or paratha, dusting with flour.
Heat a tava (griddle) and place the parantha on it. Roast from both sides applying oil. Roast till matar paratha turns golden brown with brown- black specks on it. Serve hot with curds and pickle of your choice.
