Peas & Mint Paratha

I enjoyed posting chaat items for more than a week and now I'm back to blog other yummylicious dishes :)

We have been having India bread varieties like Chapathi/Paratha in our dinner menu for almost three years now and variety has become inevitable to omit boredom.

My vote(quite influenced by the word today :P) goes for paratha since I don't have to think of any subzi accompaniments and they just go awesome with plain curd or raitha :P that shows the lazy me isn't it!!

Ingredients:

Peas - 1 cup
Onion - 1
Green chillies - 3
Wheat flour - 2 cups
Garam masala - 1 tsp
Hing(asafoetida/perungayam) - 1/4 tsp
Salt - for taste
Mint leaves - 1/2 bunch

Method:

Cook peas and roughly chop the onion.

Clean, wash and chop the mint leaves finely and keep it aside.

Grind the peas along with onion and green chillies into a smooth paste by adding little water.

Take the ground paste in a bowl and add wheat flour, salt, garam masala and chopped mint leaves to it and make a dough by adding water little by little to it. The consistency should be that of chapathi dough.

Keep it closed for half an hour before use.

Pinch lemon sized balls of dough and roll it into parathas on a well floured surface.

Now roast them on a tawa by adding few drops of oil.

Yummy peas and mint paratha is ready :)

Serve it with raitha of your choice.

Enjoy making :)

Tips:

You can also make the chapathi dough and filling separately and make parathas just like aloo paratha.

You grind the mint leaves along with peas and make dough as well.
