  • Take 2 cups of whole wheat flour in a mixing bowl, add half a cup of maida and add salt to taste in it.
  • Pour a tablespoon of oil and mix the oil until it achieves breadcrumbs like consistency.

  • Keep kneading the dough for 6-7 minutes before rolling it for paratha.
  • The dough’s texture needs to be really elastic otherwise the parathas won’t be soft.
  • Take fresh peas and grind it to a coarse paste in a mixer grinder. While grinding it does not add water in the paste.

  • Mix the ingredients and keep them aside.

  • Now dust these balls with dry flour and roll them with a rolling pin to make make a circle of 5-6 inch.
  • When you have made the circle add the matar stuffing inside it. Lift the edges one by one and bring back to the center so as to make a roundish ball once again.
  • Now dust this stuffed ball again with some flour and with gentle movement roll it out once again to about 6-7 inch diameter circle.
