Mutter (Green Peas) Stuffed Paratha

Mutter Paratha is a popular dish in northern parts of India. Mutter (Green Peas) is used to prepare a spicy thick spread.  This thick spread is stuffed inside paratha.

During winter season plenty of fresh green peas (Pachai Pattani in Tamil) is sold in market. I prepare green peas spread in advance and keep it in fridge to prepare mutter paratha as and when required.

Stuffing: I did this stuffing like we do it for modak (a type of dumpling) and rolled it to prepare paratha.

Ingredients

• Whole wheat flour – 2 cups
• Fresh green peas spread – 1½ cup
• Salt – pinch
• Oil – to cook parathas on tawa.

Method

• Here is the fresh green peas spread that I used to prepare Mutter (Green Peas) Stuffed Paratha.
• Add salt and some water in wheat flour, knead it to a soft dough; apply half tea spoon of oil on the dough and keep it for 20 to 30 minutes; make a lemon sized ball from the dough; shape it like a cup.

• Fill it with two teaspoons of green peas spread inside and seal it.

• Shape it like a flat disc; now roll gently and flatten it with a rolling pin; if needed use some wheat flour for dusting while rolling; roll it as thin as possible.

• Cook both sides with some oil on a tawa; repeat this process for remaining dough also.

• Serve hot with any vegetable side dish.

Tips

• Mix very little salt in wheat flour, as green peas spread also has salt in it.
