Matar Paratha

Peas (matar)(3 cups)

Salt

2 green chilles

1 pinch heeng (asoefatida)

1 tsp jeera

½ tsp amchoor (mango powder)

1 tsp chopped ginger

Wheat dough

Ghee

Method:

In a vegetable chopper add in the peas,and chillies.Blend till coarse (but do not over blend).Now heat some oil in a pan ,add in the heeng, amchoor ,jeera and ginger ,sauté for 2 mins and then add in the coarse peas and cook for 3-5 minutes.(The reason for cooking the peas is to add in a nice flavour and makes it less gaseous).Once done allow this to cool .This shall be used as the stuffing for the parathas.

(This same filling can be used to make kachoris)

Method for making parathas:

1.Take the wheat flour and Knead wheat dough with water and keep aside.

Now make two small balls from the wheat dough.

2. With a rolling pin ,roll them and flatten them  into 3 inches diameters

each.try to make them of the same size.

3. Apply ghee on one dough circle and put the stuffing on it,leave a little space on the sides.

4.Place the other dough circle on it and seal the sides nicely.

5. Dust some flour on the stuffed paratha and roll it slowly  into the size of a round paratha.

6. Heat  a tawa or skillet and place the paratha on it.

7. When one side is partly cooked flip it and apply ghee.

8. Cook till both sides done.
