Matar Paratha

(Peas Stuffed Paratha)

The vibrant green peas are carefully cooked and mashed, then combined with a medley of flavors such as cumin, garam masala, and green chili, resulting in a burst of savory goodness. The mixture is generously stuffed into a whole wheat dough, rolled out into perfect circles, and cooked to perfection on a hot griddle. As you bite into these heavenly parathas, you'll experience the satisfying crunch of the outer layer, followed by the luscious and fragrant pea filling that melts in your mouth.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup boiled peas
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon green chili, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
  • Salt to taste
  • Sharma’s Kitchen Ghee for cooking

Makes 4 servings

Instructions

Mix the whole wheat flour with a pinch of salt. Gradually add water and knead into a soft dough. Set aside for 15 minutes.

Heat a teaspoon of Sharma’s Kitchen Ghee in a pan. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

Add boiled peas, ginger, green chili, garam masala, and salt. Mix well and cook for 4-5 minutes until the peas are well coated with spices.

Divide the dough into small balls. Roll out each ball into a small circle and place a portion of the peas mixture in the center.

Fold the edges of the dough to cover the stuffing completely and roll it out into a round paratha.

Heat a tawa (griddle) and cook the paratha on medium heat, applying Sharma’s Kitchen Ghee on both sides until golden brown spots appear.

Serve hot with Sharma's Kitchen Probiotic Yoghurt or pickle.

Are you one of people who don’t like to eat plain Yoghurt? Here are some delightful ways to enjoy it and derive its various benefits

Yoghurt rice or dahi chawal

Take a bowl of cooked rice, mix it with Yoghurt, a bit of pepper and salt and then have it. You could also garnish it with some pomegranate seeds.

Raita

Mix vegetables like onions and tomatoes and add them to Yoghurt. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the taste. You can also make other types of raita including boondi raita. Mint and jeera raita aid digestion.

Kadhi

This sour and slightly spicy delicacy with a think consistency is made from a mixture of Yoghurt and besan (gram flour). Usually enjoyed with steamed or jeera rice, it can also be served with some freshly made parathas or rotis.
