How to make Peas Paratha without Stuffing

For this recipe, we have prepared green peas filling and then stuffed parathas with this filling. But if you don’t want to make stuffed parathas, then you can even prepare these peas parathas without stuffing. Just prepare the filling/stuffing, as mentioned in the recipe and then mix this filling while making dough. In this way, you can enjoy this yummy parathas and you can be saved from the hassle of stuffing inside the parathas.

Preparing Parathas

  • Before starting to make parathas, knead the dough well. If needed, use ½ teaspoon oil and knead till it becomes smooth and soft.
  • Divide the dough and stuffing into 4 equal parts and make balls out of it.
  • Dust a little flour and roll out the dough into a small circle. Keep stuffing in the centre, gather all the corners and seal the dough with the stuffing inside. Press it down gently to flatten it.
  • Dust a little four and roll it again very gently, so that stuffing doesn’t come out.
