PEAS PARATHA RECIPE

Peas-paratha-recipe
        Stuffed parathas are easy to make, 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. They are healthy,not to mention. I weekly make Aloo paratha for Aj’s(my kiddo) lunch box. The other parathas except cabbage paratha make rare appearance in my kitchen. I am trying peas paratha for first time and found it damn easy and tasty too. Aj too loved it and I have packed it for his lunch box today. He likes all the eating stuffs that’s green in colour. He thinks green means healthy and never says no.

  5. Roll thick circle and keep the stuffing inside and cover the stuffing and make a ball. Roll it out with generous dusting with flour and make out thick parathas. pp5

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

According to me, peas parathas are the simplest to make & yet very very tasty. I add a big pinch of chat masala to the aloo & peas paratha.

Great post! How old is Aj? He seems to be a very responsible kid and very wise too if he doesn't say no to green veggies.
I have bookmarked your cabbage paratha because my daughter cannot have too much of peas and legumes.
This is a great way to keep kids healthy. Thanks!

Paratha luks perfect with layers and peas...

Laavanya said...

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.
