PEAS STUFFED PARATHAS/ MATAR KE PARATHE

When it comes to food, winter always reminds me of 2 things – gajar halwa (carrot pudding) and matar ke parathe (green peas stuffed flatbread). These two vegetables are available in abundance during winters in my place  and are made quite often in every household. Paratha is Indian flatbread which is made with whole wheat flour and stuffed with practically everything. 

Peas stuffed Parathas are soft, delicious and quick Paratha recipe with  mashed peas masala  added as stuffing. Enjoy the hot peas stuffed paranthas with curd and pickle.

And so here it is my matar paratha recipe, exactly the way it’s made at my home.
