Ingredients

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 cups chappati flour aka atta
  • 2 tablespoons ghee
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

Filling Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a food processor, puree green peas with ginger and chiles.
  • In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon ghee. Add cumin seed and nigella seed. Fry for 1 minute. Add green pea paste and fry for 2 minutes. Add turmeric, cumin power and salt. Stir to combine.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, ghee and salt. Add warm water a little at a time until you have a soft dough, approximately 1 - 1 1/4 cups. Cover dough with a damp cloth and leave to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Divide dough into 12 equal sized balls. While you work with the dough, leave the rest covered with the damp cloth.
  • Take one of the balls of dough and pass the dough from one hand to the next, squeezing the dough as you go from hand to hand. This will make the dough soft and smooth. Form a smooth ball. Stretch the dough in your hand to form a small cup. Place about 1 teaspoon of the green pea stuffing in the cup. Bring the dough around the cup to seal.
  • Place on a floured board. Sprinkle a little flour on top of the dough and roll into a circle, approximately 6-7" in diameter.
  • Heat a skillet/tawa/roti iron. Brush some ghee on it. Add the piece of dough and cook for about 1-2 minutes until it starts to get puffy. Flip over and brush the top with ghee.
  • Cook another 30 seconds - 1 minute, until bottom side has a few brown spots. Brush the edges with a little ghee.
  • Remove to a plate.
  • Serve warm with chutneys, raita and/or curry.

Notes

If you want fluffier parathas, you can divide dough into just 9 portions. This recipe can make 9-12 parathas.
 
Atta is the word for wheat flour. However, in America this is often sold as chappati flour.
