METHOD OF MAKING THE STUFF FOR PEAS PARATHA
There are two methods of preparing the stuff.

Today, I will be using the first method to make the stuff.
- Keep a pan 1/2 filled with water to heat on medium flame.
- Let it boil and then add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of sugar to it.
- Put the shelled peas into the pan of boiling water.
- Boil it for 8-10 mts or till the peas are soft. (keep covered)
- Then, strain the water and keep it aside.
- Take the boiled soft peas in a mixing bowl and with a masher mash the peas to make a semi-granular paste. (do this when the peas are still hot, to ease the process.)
- Coarsely grind the green chilies, ginger, and Garlic cloves.
- Add this paste to the peas paste in the mixing bowl.
- Add all the spice powders, such as-Red chilly powder, Dhaniya powder, Amchur powder, Cumin powder, Garam masala, Black pepper powder, Black salt, Table salt, etc.
- Dry roast the whole spices-Fennel seeds, Cumin seeds, Carrom seeds, and Dry coriander seeds, just to make it a little crispier.
- Add this whole spices too.
- Combine all of them and mash them to make a softball.
- At the last add the wheat flour to bind the mix properly.
- Make a big lemon-sized ball of this stuff.
Now both the dough and the stuff are ready for making the delicious peas paratha.
STUFFING AND ROLLING PARATHAS
Stuffing the paratha is similar to any other paratha. which is done in two ways.
- One is making a ball of dough, flattening it in the palm of your hands, keeping the dough in the center and closing it from all sides, and pinching the extra dough. Make a ball, roll it in dry flour, and roll it to make paratha.
- The second method is, to make two tiny balls, roll them like poori, one smear oil and sprinkle dry flour, put the stuffing in the center, and cover the other poori on it. secure all the edges by pressing with your hand before rolling the paratha
ROASTING THE YUMMY PEAS PARATHAS
- Roasting parathas have to be perfect to get good tasty and crispy parathas.
- For that heat the pan to medium temperature.
- Now put the rolled paratha on it.
- After a few seconds, when the brown spots start appearing, flip it.
- Roast the other side in the same way.
- Now put, Ghee, oil, or Butter. .(your choice), for roasting.
- Put on both sides and cook till the paratha is crispy.
- Now remove on a plate and enjoy with a cup of curd, ghee, and chutney.
DELICIOUS, TASTY, SPICY, HEALTHY PEAS PARATHAS ARE READY TO RELISH.
ACTUALLY, IT DOESN’T NEED ANY ADDITIONAL SUPPLEMENT
JUST ENJOY WITH THE BUTTER OR GHEE WHEN STILL HOT.
Note: Do try in this winter, when you get fresh peas, and enjoy.
Keep the spice taste more, as the peas are sweet, and to overcome you need more.
For those who need less spicy, reduce the quantity of stuff filling.
