Matar/ Green peas Paratha (Indian bread stuffed with sweet green peas)

You need:

Wheat flour

Green peas - 500 grams (I use organic/ frozen baby sweet green peas)

Garlic - 5-6 cloves (finely grated)

Onion - 1/2 medium size (finely chopped)

Green chili - 2 (finely chopped)

Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp

Coriander powder - 1tsp

Chili powder - 1/2 tsp

Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp

Salt

Garam Masala - Pinch

1) Heat a Tbsp of oil, add cumin seeds. Once it crackles, add the green chilies, garlic. Fry for a minute.

2) Now add onion, salt, turmeric. Once the onions get translucent, add coriander powder and red chili powder. Fry for a min

3) Now add the peas with 3 tbsp of water. Cover and cook till peas become totally mushy. You can also use a hand blender to make it into a coarse paste. But make sure some peas are still seen.

4) Now make dough using wheat flour and water.

5) Roll out the wheat flour balls to make a circle, keep one table spoon of the stuffing in the centre and fold from all sides to close and make a ball. Roll out the ball gently to make a round paratha.

6) On a got griddle, shallow fry with one tea spoon of oil (or cooking spray) till golden in colour.

7) Serve hot with some butter, yogurt and mint chutney.

* You can also use all purpose flour/ maida

** Deep frying a slightly smaller and thicker stuffed bread will make it a kachori.
