Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup Sattu (roasted gram flour)
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium Green chili, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon Carom seeds (ajwain)
• 0.5 teaspoon Nigella seeds (kalonji)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Low-sodium salt alternative
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Fennel seeds
• 0 as needed Water
• 2 tablespoons Oil
• 0 for cooking Ghee (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, add whole wheat flour and a pinch of low-sodium salt. Gradually add water and knead to form a soft, smooth dough. Cover and set aside for 20 minutes.

Step 2

In another bowl, mix sattu, finely chopped onion, green chili, coriander leaves, grated ginger, carom seeds, nigella seeds, lemon juice, low-sodium salt alternative, cumin powder, and fennel seeds. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. The mixture should be slightly moist but not too wet.

Step 3

Divide the dough into 8 equal-sized balls. Flatten them slightly with your palms.

Step 4

Take one ball of dough, roll it out into a small circle (about 4 inches in diameter). Place 2 to 3 tablespoons of the sattu filling in the center.

Step 5

Bring the edges of the rolled-out dough together to encase the filling completely. Seal tightly and roll it gently into a 6-inch paratha using a rolling pin. Use a light dusting of dry flour to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Heat a tawa or a flat non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the rolled paratha onto the pan.

Step 7

Cook until you see bubbles form on the surface, then flip it. Add a few drops of oil or ghee around the edges and cook until both sides are golden brown and the dough is cooked through.

Step 8

Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls and filling.

Step 9

Serve the parathas hot, preferably with yogurt or pickle of your choice.
