Preparing the Dough:
Start by adding whole wheat flour to a large mixing bowl. Gradually add water, little by little, and knead to form a smooth, soft dough. If needed, add a pinch of salt. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and set it aside to rest for 15-20 minutes. (Time taken: 15-20 minutes)
Preparing the Filling:
In a separate pan, heat a little oil. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Then, add the chopped cabbage and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Add the green peas, ginger, and spices such as coriander powder, red chili powder, and turmeric. Stir well and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the peas are tender and the filling is well combined. Allow it to cool slightly. (Time taken: 8-10 minutes)
Making the Paratha:
Divide the dough into small equal-sized balls. Take one ball of dough and roll it out into a small circle. Place a spoonful of the cooled filling in the center. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to seal it, creating a stuffed ball. Gently roll it out into a flat, round paratha, being careful not to let the filling spill out. (Time taken: 5-7 minutes)
Cooking the Paratha:
Heat a tawa or flat skillet on medium heat. Once hot, place the rolled paratha on the tawa. Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden spots appear on the bottom. Flip it over, and brush with a little oil or ghee. Cook the other side until crispy and golden. Repeat with the remaining parathas. (Time taken: 5-7 minutes per paratha)
Serving:
Serve the hot Green Peas and Cabbage Parathas with yogurt, pickle, or your favorite chutney. Enjoy this delicious, healthy meal! (Time taken: 2 minutes)
Total Time Taken: Around 40-50 minutes, depending on the number of parathas being cooked.
