Portable and Convenient: Wraps are naturally portable, making them ideal for picnics, lunchboxes, or on-the-go meals.
Here's how to make it (basic recipe):
1. Boil or steam potatoes until tender.
2. Sauté green peas with a little oil and add them to the potato mixture and mash lightly. Season with salt, pepper, and other desired spices.
3. Spread the potato and pea filling on a warmed flatbread (roti, tortilla, etc.). You can add a dollop of chutney or yogurt for extra flavor and moisture.
4. Roll up the wrap tightly and enjoy!
Tips:
• For a crispier wrap, toast the flatbread lightly in a pan before adding the filling.
• Leftover roasted vegetables can be added to the filling for extra protein and flavor.
• Experiment with different types of flatbreads like whole wheat tortillas, spinach tortillas, or naan.
• Serve the aloo matar wraps with a side salad or chutney for dipping.
Pro tips for aloo matar wrap. In a bowl put 1 cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta). Whole wheat flour can create a slightly chewy texture in the dough compared to refined flour, which can be desirable for some people in wraps. 2. Add 2 tsp oil. Oil helps to trap moisture within the dough, preventing it from drying out and becoming brittle. This keeps the dough soft and easier to work with, making it less likely to crack during rolling.

stuffing for potato green pea wrap
-
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a broad non-stick pan.
-
Add 1 tsp cumin seeds.
-
Let the seeds crackle.
-
Add 1/2 cup finely chopped onions. Onions add a touch of sweetness and savory depth to the filling. This complements the flavors of the potatoes and green peas, preventing the wrap from tasting bland or one-dimensional.
-
Saute on medium heat till onions are translucent.
-
Add 1/2 tsp finley chopped ginger. Ginger has a warming and slightly spicy flavor profile that can add complexity and depth to the potato and green pea filling.

-
Add a little haldi.
-
Cook on medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes.

Add 1/2 tsp chaat masala. Chaat masala is a unique blend of spices that typically includes amchoor (dried mango powder) for tanginess, cumin and coriander for warmth, black pepper for a touch of heat, and sometimes black salt for a salty-sulfurous note.
-
Add 1 cup boiled and peeled potato cubes. Potatoes readily absorb the flavors of the spices and herbs used in the wrap, adding another layer of complexity to the overall taste profile.
-
Add 3/4th cups boiled green peas. Green peas add a touch of natural sweetness that complements the savory taste of potatoes.

pro tips to make potato green pea wrap
-
Frozen peas work great, but fresh peas add a delightful sweetness. If using frozen peas, thaw them completely and pat them dry to avoid a watery filling.
-
Don't overcook the potatoes. You want them tender but still have some bite. For a chunky texture, mash them lightly.
-
Instead of chaat masala you can also squeeze a little lemon juice in the stuffing, it brightens up the flavors and cuts through any richness.
