Stuffed flatbreads or parathas make for one of the most comforting winter breakfasts or brunches. However, if you cook often and are tired of the usual stuffings made of aloo, gobi, or mooli, then it’s time to get experimental. Try this spring onion and green pea paratha recipe and watch a kitchen experiment turn into a family favourite!
The recipe begins with kneading the dough using Aashirvaad 100% MP Sharbati Atta, with a pleasant natural aroma and premium-quality texture. For the stuffing, mashed peas and chopped spring onions are cooked with basic kitchen spices to create a flavourful, filling mix. It’s the stuffing that makes the dish more satisfying than a simple paratha.

Stuff the parathas
Divide the dough and filling into equal-sized balls. Use a surface dusted with dry flour to roll and stuff the parathas. Take a dough ball, flatten it slightly, and roll it into a 3-4 inch circle. Place a portion of the filling in the centre. Now, bring the edges together and seal tightly, pinching off any excess dough. Gently flatten the stuffed ball. Avoid pressing too hard, or the stuffing will come out. Dust the stuffed ball with flour and roll it into a 6-7-inch circle.

Cook the parathas
Heat a tawa on medium-high heat. Place the rolled paratha on the hot tawa. When one side is partially cooked, flip it. Spread some oil or ghee on the partially cooked side. Flip again and spread oil/ghee on the other side. Press gently with a spatula and cook until both sides are golden brown and cooked through.
