Peas paratha/mutter paratha(roti)

This recipe is about green peas/mutter/batani paratha.  Add crushed peas/mutter to the wheat flour and do rotis as regular. This dish is  very popular in the north india.

Ingredients:

· 3 cups whole wheat flour

· 1 cup green peas/mutter/batani

· Salt to taste

· 1/4 tsp ajwain seeds (vamu/oma) or ajwain powder

· Oil (Optional)

· Water (as required)

Preparation method:

v Wash green peas first. If green peas are fresh, mash them using a spoon.  If green peas are dry or frozen boil in the water and mash them.

v In a mixing bowl take wheat flour then add mashed peas, ajwain and salt. (If you like spicy paratha add green chilli paste) Then prepare soft dough (add water if required). Continue to knead till you get the right consistency.

v Divide the dough into equal portions and make medium sized balls of it and keep them ready to roll out.

v Take one dough ball and roll it into chapati, lightly coat on wheat flour both sides to prevent the dough from sticking as you roll the chapati.

v Heat the pan/griddle/ tava, transfer the rolled chapati on it, then roast it well with oil(optional) both sides.

v Serve hot with curry or dal and “Enoy” it.
