Though i have never attempted making this at home, i always love to give it a try. I have posted Plain kulcha recipe and a Homemade Peshwari naan, with yeast. I just followed my Kulcha recipe for this recipe, as it doesn't contains any yeast. But this tried using half portion of whole wheat flour and half portion of all purpose flour. I turned out really well and my son who is a fan of garlic naan, loved it very much.
We served this Garlic naan with Green peas masala. Though paneer masala or chole is the usual combo for naan, trust me, the green peas masala combo turned out so well.

Peas Paratha recipe| Matar Paratha

Peas Paratha | Peas stuffed paratha,with green peas and fresh masala powder. Peas paratha i have tried many years back but some how didn't like the way i made,and after that i have never attempted to make Green peas paratha. Few months back, when we organised a meet up,we ordered Peas Kachori from a friend here. It was so awesome and when i asked for the recipe, she passed on a box of peas filling which she made,to me. I tried Paratha with that filling and it tasted so yum. Later i got the recipe from her and finally today i tried Peas paratha following her recipe. She told that this is basically a Bengali peas kachori filling recipe, which she learnt from her friend's mother in law. I loved the aroma of the freshly spice mix used in this paratha. Check out my

Peas Paratha recipe

  Preparation Time : 10 mins | Cooking Time : 25 Mins |Serves: 5 parathas

     Green peas  1/2 cup
     Turmeric powder  1/4 tsp
     Salt as needed
     Sugar  1/2 tsp
     Oil  2 tsp
     Green chili  1
     Ginger  a small piece
     Atta | Whole wheat flour  1 cup 
    Ghee or oil  to smear on the paratha
     Asafoetida  1/4 tsp
For the spice mix
    Red chili  2-3
    Cloves   2
    Elachi | cardamom  1
    Coriander seeds  2 tsp
    Cumin seeds  1 tsp 
    Fennel seeds | sombu  1 tsp
    Cinnamon  a small stick
Method:

• Knead the dough and keep it aside. Divide this into lemon sized equal dough balls.
• I used frozen peas. If using fresh peas, pressure cook for 2-3 whistles. Drain the water completely and keep aside. Let this cool completely.
• Dry roast the coriander seeds,red chili,cumin seeds,cinnamon,cloves and cardamom for few minutes in a low flame.
• Switch off the flame and add the fennel seeds.
• Allow this to cool.
• Grind this into a powder. This powder only we are using as Paratha masala. It yielded 4 tsp of masala.
• Grind the peas, green chili and ginger into a coarse paste.
• In a pan add 2 tsp of oil and add asafoetida. Now add the coarsely ground peas mixture.
• Add 2-3 tsp of the spice mixture, the parantha masala, turmeric powder and salt.
• Mix well and cook till the mixture becomes dry.
• Switch off the flame and let this completely dry.
• Take one dough ball and dust this with dry flour.
• Roll this into a thick disc.
• Place 1 tblsp of Peas mixture on this.
• Cover this as how we do for modakam,by bringing the edges together.
• Dust this in the dry flour and roll this gently into parathas.
• I always love my parathas bit thinner, if you want this thick roll accordingly.
• Heat a tawa and cook the paratha on both sides. 
• Smear oil or ghee on both sides.
• Serve hot with plain yogurt.      

   The filling was perfect for 5 parathas. I was left with one dough ball. So you can add 2 tblsp extra peas to make the filling more for that extra dough.

SWEET CHAPATHI RECIPE| TRIANGLE PARATHA

Chapathi, my mom used to make it very rarely when we are kids. Dosa will be the most  made tiffin at home and we all enjoy dosa like anything. Chapathis amma will make once in a month when she has off day. Though appa is diabetic, she makes more of Godhuma dosa , also he doesn't like chapathi much. Even if she makes chapathi,veg kurma will be the only side dish she knows to make and later she learnt channa masala from my athai. Sometimes she makes simple onion tomato gravy or coconut chutney too. We used to scold her if she makes coconut chutney for chapathi. But nowadays i like that combo.  But whenever she makes chapathi, she makes this sweet chapathi for us and it is our most favourite one too. My paati makes this sweet chapathi in triangle shape and mom do it in round shape. My mil makes regular chapathi like triangle parathas and later we changed it to phulkas as they are healthy.
 Few days back when me and my hubby were talking about the childhood food memories, we both remembered about this sakkara chapathi . So i thought i will post this recipe here. Do you have any childhood memories related to this sweet chapathi, i would love to hear. Share in the comment section below.

Will post jowar also soon.
   This has so many health benefits.As bajra is rich in fibre, it helps in weight loss. Best suitable for Diabetic people. I personally felt the rotis are too bland in taste, but when i tried for the second time i had with proper side dish. It tasted very nice. Never serve this with simple raita or salads. Since it is a gluten free flour, i can't make it without the addition of wheat flour. So over to the recipe of bajra ki roti.

I have tried with whole wheat flour too, but though it turned out good, i don't say it is too soft as the maida one. How ever, you can add half of whole wheat flour and half of maida too.

It is best one to make and carry for picnics as it won't get spoil soon. You can pack this for kids lunch box too. Unlike other pooris this will not puff very big as i have added besan(kadalaimaavu) to this. If you want puffed pooris , just skip the besan and make puffed pooris. The recipe was given by my friend, who makes this methi puri very well.

PLAIN PARATHA |PLAIN PARATHA RECIPE |PARATHA RECIPES

   As South Indians, we always make idli, dosa, upma for breakfast but parathas rarely take place in our menu for breakfast. Some times when i make aloo paratha for kids lunch box and keep the same for me for breakfast. During our trip to Delhi, ( i know i am talking too much about the trip, please bear with me) we happened to have parathas for breakfast on most of the days. But we all enjoyed as whenever we go for an international holiday we end up eating cornflakes, bread and juice for breakfast. Few years back when we go for a North India trip we hunt for places to have South Indian food , but now a days Indian Vegetarian food is more comfortable for us ,especially for me. These plain parathas i have added in my last week's cooking for guests menu. So if you have guest, you need not not make lot of chapathis, just few parathas you can make as they are thick.

MIXED VEGETABLE PARATHA |NO ONION NO GARLIC RECIPES

Mixed vegetable paratha , i generally make when i have few veggies and wanted to clean up the fridge. Though most of the parathas we have have the option of making it without onion and garlic, i always make this mixed vegetable paratha with  onion only. But last week, i tried this mixed vegetable paratha, without adding onion and garlic and it turned out nice. As during this navaratri time , in many houses they won’t consume onion and garlic i thought it will be the right time for posting this Mixed vegetable paratha.

• Cook  the potatoes till soft and in a pan add water and boil the green peas, corn kernells(i used frozen), paneer cubes for 5 minutes.
• Switch off the flame and drain the water and when it is cool, mash them nicely with the hands.
• In a wide bowl,add the mashed veggies and paneer, potato, grated carrot, red chilli powder, garam masala, coriander powder, cumin seed powder and salt.
• Mix them with your hands nicely. Make equal sized balls. Stuffing is ready for the paratha.

• Knead the wheat flour into a pliable dough with enough water and smear it with a tsp of oil and keep it covered for 10 minutes.
• Make them into equal sized balls.
• To make parathas take a ball of the dough and roll them into a small disc by dusting enough atta .
• Place the stuffing in the center and close it.

• dust with flour and roll them into a medium sized thick paratha.
• I always like parathas thick. If you want you can roll them thinly.

• Heat a tawa and when hot, place the rolled parathas on it and cook on both sides till it becomes golden brown. Repeat this for the rest of the dough.

Note:

• finely chopped cabbage and grated cauliflower can be added to this. If adding drain the water completely , which it oozes out.
• Prepare the stuffing just before you make the parathas. else the salt in that will ooze out water.
• If you feel the stuffing is watery by any chance, roast 2 tblsp of besan (kadalai maavu) in a pan and add it to the stuffing and mix well.
• Finely chopped coriander leaves can be added.
• Kasoori methi can also be added.
