A popular wintertime filled flatbread, aloo matar parathas are made by stuffing soft whole wheat dough with a flavourful blend of mashed potatoes and tender green peas, then roasting until cooked through. It’s a substantial North Indian dish that tastes best with butter or yoghurt, as it’s rich, warm, and subtly spicy. These parathas puff beautifully and remain soft for hours thanks to Aashirvaad 100% MP Sharbati Atta.
Combine the salt and Aashirvaad 100% MP Sharbati Atta in a bowl. Gradually add water while kneading until the dough is soft and smooth. Knead in a teaspoon of oil once more. The atta’s high absorption rate guarantees a tender dough; cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Make Filling
Mix together the peas and mashed potatoes in a bowl. Add salt, ginger, coriander, ajwain, amchur, and green chillies. Stir the mixture until it becomes a smooth, lump-free consistency.

Stuff the Paratha
Make evenly sized balls out of the dough. Roll one ball into a small disc, add some filling to the centre, and seal by gathering the edges. Press down lightly and shape into a paratha about 6 to 7 inches in diameter.

Roast Until Golden and Serve
Put a tawa on the stove and roast the paratha over medium heat. Flip and coat both sides with ghee or oil. The paratha should develop golden brown patches and become crisp yet still soft. Serve immediately with extra butter.
