Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.75 cup Water
• 1 cup Sattu (roasted gram flour)
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 1 whole Green chili, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon Ajwain seeds (carom seeds)
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Dry mango powder (amchur)
• 4 tablespoons Oil for cooking

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and mix well.

Step 2

Gradually add water and knead the mixture to form a smooth and soft dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and set aside for 20 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, prepare the stuffing. In another bowl, combine sattu, chopped onion, green chili, ginger, ajwain seeds, cumin powder, coriander leaves, lemon juice, salt, and dry mango powder. Mix everything thoroughly.

Step 4

Divide the dough into equal-sized balls, approximately the size of a golf ball.

Step 5

Roll out each ball into a small circle (approximately 4 inches in diameter) on a lightly floured surface.

Step 6

Place a spoonful of the sattu stuffing mixture onto the center of the rolled dough.

Step 7

Fold the edges of the dough over the stuffing to seal it, forming a ball again.

Step 8

Gently flatten the stuffed ball and roll it out carefully into a round paratha, about 6 inches in diameter. Take care not to let the stuffing spill out.

Step 9

Heat a skillet or tawa over medium heat. Place the rolled paratha on the hot skillet.

Step 10

Cook the paratha for about 1-2 minutes until small bubbles appear on the surface.

Step 11

Brush a little oil around the edges and on the top of the paratha. Flip it over and cook the other side until golden brown spots appear.

Step 12

Press lightly with a spatula to ensure even cooking and crispiness.

Step 13

Remove the cooked paratha from the skillet and keep warm in a covered container. Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls.

Step 14

Serve the Dairy-Free Sattu Paratha hot with pickles or dairy-free yogurt.
