Anything made with green pea is always big hit for your recipe. Simply adding salt and green pea to your plain rice makes it more colorful and delicious. I love the season when lots of green beans and green vegetables are available in market. Mostly in winter, my refrigerator is full of the green peas, French beans, pigeon pea and lots of leafy vegetables. And among with them, matar (green pea) is my favorite one. In-fact I store almost 5 kgs green pea for whole year. So that I can use frozen matar and have delicious recipe till next season. 🙂

This recipe is,

• Highly colorful
• Full pack of nutrition
• Damn delicious
• Perfect for brunch
• Rich of flavor

Generally, Green Peas Stuffed Paratha is the best choice for breakfast. But everyone is hurry in morning, so I prefer this recipe at dinner time. But you can make stuffing at early stage, and store it in refrigerator for 2 days. You can use this stuffing at morning time and have healthy breakfast or brunch for you busy weekly days.

Paratha goes best with curd or yogurt or raita. Raita is dish in which you can give best tangy and sweet flavor to curd. Pickle is best complement for paratha. So you can have any stuffed paratha with curd and pickle.

2) Adding 1 tbsp garam masala will also give it Indian touch.

3) Serve with pickle or curd (Dahi raita)

4) You can serve it with onion salad and buttermilk.

5) Cheese can be replaced with paneer or cottage cheese, it is also considered to be an amazing recipe of north Indian cuisine.

Avoid Mistakes on first attempt of making Green Peas Stuffed Paratha

• Keep dough smooth and soft. It will helpful to roll out stuffed paratha perfectly, and you may have perfect puffed or raised paratha.
• Keep in mind that the stuffing should not loose or lumpy. When you drain green pea, make sure, it should not have any moisture left. Try to create dry mixture.
• Let the mixture cool down completely. It should be cooled at least at room temperature.
• When you are ready to roll out dough, add cheese into stuffing. Do not add cheese when your mixture is hot. Otherwise cheese started to melt, and mixture will become lumpy.

Looks tempting, right? Try this Green Peas Stuffed Paratha at your home and stay tuned for more amazing recipes. 🙂
