How to make peas paratha with step by step images

In a blender add boiled green peas, green chilli and chopped cilantro. Grind it into fine paste adding little water. Keel the ground paste aside. I used around 2 tbsp water to grind the paste.
In a wide bowl add Wheat flour, cumin seeds, salt, oil and ground green peas paste. Mix well. Add water gradually to form a soft dough.( I used around 3 to 4 tbsp of water while kneading dough) Allow the dough to rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes knead the dough once, then punch medium sized portion of dough roll into medium sized circle using a rolling pin just like regular chapati. Repeat the whole process till all the dough us finished.
Heat a tawa, and place the rolled paratha on it, drizzle some/ ghee around it and cook in medium flame. When brown spots appear flip the paratha and cook till done.Transfer the cooked paratha to a plate and serve it hot with any gravy of your choice!
