## Notes
* firstly, add water as required while kneading the dough as peas paste contains moisture.
* also, if you prefer to stuff the matar stuffing, then blend the peas mixture without adding water and stuff as done in [aloo paratha](/recipes/aloo-paratha-recipe-aalu-ka-paratha-aloo).
* additionally, skip green chilli if you serving for kids.
* finally, **peas paratha** / **matar paratha** tastes great when prepared with more peas mixture.
