Indian cuisine has so many varieties of parathas, chapatis,Naans. Here is one traditional  Indian mouth-watering recipe. This recipe is a bit time-consuming,but once you get a hang of it,You can make it in a jiffy.I promise you will be making it more and more. Even kids love it. A lot of kids don't even want to try peas,but will readily eat the Peas Paratha. Of course when making for kids skip the green chillies and Garam Masala,if they can't handle the spices.
Serve it with yogurt (raita) or my kids enjoy it with Jam, Nutella or even peanut butter.

Now add the peas mixture to it .Add sugar,lemon juice, salt and Garam Masala* and keep stirring it on low to med flame for at least 20-25 mins or until the mixture has become dry and can be formed into balls. Let it cool.

Now take 2-3 drops of oil in your hand and knead the dough to make it smooth. Take 1/2 round size  dough and roll it into small size Chappati or Tortilla.

Now take the Pea stuffing and put it the middle and fold the rest of chappati over the stuffing,with a rolling pin ,roll it .
  On preheated Tawa or Flat griddle/ pan. Spread the oil evenly on one side and then on the other side Shallow fry it. Flip it until it's golden brown on both the side.
