When I saw these peas parottas at Bong Mom's Cook Book, I wanted to prepare it on the same day. I had a cup of green peas in the freezer and so I prepared it and gave a surprise to my hubby who came home late. We had it along with mushroom masala and it was so nice. This is lying in my draft folder for a week. As I had some interesting baked dishes for posting, I forgot to post this. Today, I remembered it. Enjoy these lovely parottas...
