Peas/Matar Paratha

This recipe comes from my best friend Swati..

I love trying parathas with different stuffing..I use to make only mooli, aloo & gobhi parathas before, but now i know of so many variations and i love to make all of them ..Peas parathas are good option for kids too..

I like to make stuffing and fill it in the center of paratha but if you are not comfortable in doing that you can always make the paste of stuffing in the blender and blend it in the flour before making the dough..i am sure it will tastes delicious anyway you make it..
