Now, cut small proportions of the dough and spread it out evenly.  

Apply ghee, add matar stuffing and tuck in the dough from all the sides. Roll it out again. Heat a tawa, place the paratha and roast well. In some time, flip the paratha and apply ghee. Cook until it turns golden and crispy from both the sides. Dhaba-style matar paratha is ready!
