For the Paratha:
Whole wheat flour - 2 cups or an equal mix of APF and WWF

Oil / Ghee for cooking the parathas







Blend the peas with green chili and ginger in a blender. Remove and keep aside.




In a pan heat oil. Add hing and the green peas paste. Then add cumin powder, fennel powder, salt and cook stirring constantly till the water dries up and the mixture changes color and becomes a little dryish. Check for seasoning and adjust it. Cool the mixture.
