8. Grated ginger- 1tbsp
9. Chopped green chilli- 1tbsp
10. Red chili powder

Method...........

For Making dough.............

• Mix flour, salt and water together to make soft dough (if the dough is hard add a little more water). I like mixing the dough by hand.

• Knead the dough for a few minutes on a lightly greased surface to make smooth and pliable dough.
• Set the dough aside and cover it with a damp cloth. Let the dough rest for at least ten minutes.

For making filling........

• Heat the wok add oil , after 2 sec add cumin seeds, green chopped chili, grated ginger and fry till light brown.

• Now time to add crushed green peas and add all dry spices like coriander powder, garam masala, mango powder, salt, red chili powder and mix it well and fry about 5 min till dry.

Method..............

• Roll the dough into 3 inch diameter circles. Place the green peas mixture in the center. Seal by pulling the edges of the rolled dough together to Make a ball. To make it easier to roll the balls, first roll them in dry whole-wheat flour
  Lightly press the ball on the sealed side and keep it on the topside when rolling. Roll the ball light handed in to 6-inch circles. Whenever the dough sticks to the rolling pin or rolling surface, lightly sprinkle dry whole-wheat flour on both sides of the semi-rolled paratha/ flat bread.
  
  
  

• Heat the Flat pan /tawa on medium high. To check if the flat pan is hot enough, sprinkle a couple of drops of water on it. If the water sizzles right away, the pan is ready.
• Place the paratha/flat bread over the pan. After a few seconds you will see the paratha /flat bread change color and puff in different places.

• Then flip the paratha/ flat bread over. You should see some golden-brown spots on the topside. After a few seconds, spread 1 teaspoon of oil on the paratha/ flat bread. Again, flip the paratha / flat bread and lightly press the puffed areas with a spatula.

• Flip again and press with the spatula making sure the paratha / flat breadis golden-brown on both sides.

• Parathas/ flat bread can be served with tomato chutney, plain yogurt, any gravy/ subji, or spicy pickle.
