Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
• 1 cup Sattu (roasted gram flour)
• 1 tablespoon, grated Ginger
• 2 chopped Green Chilies
• 1 small, finely chopped Onion
• 0.5 teaspoon Ajwain (carom seeds)
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Coriander Leaves
• 1 tablespoon Mustard Oil
• 2 tablespoons Ghee or Vegetable Oil
• 0 as needed Water

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of whole wheat flour with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add water and knead to form a soft and pliable dough. Cover the dough and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.

Step 2

In another bowl, combine 1 cup of sattu with the grated ginger, chopped green chilies, chopped onion, 0.5 teaspoon ajwain, 1 teaspoon salt, lemon juice, chopped coriander leaves, and 1 tablespoon mustard oil.

Step 3

Mix the sattu filling thoroughly. Adjust the salt and spices to your taste, and add a little water if necessary to make the filling bind together.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions, shaping them into balls. Flatten each ball slightly and make a small cup shape.

Step 5

Place 2-3 tablespoons of the sattu filling in the center of each dough cup. Bring the edges together to seal and form a ball, ensuring the filling is secured inside.

Step 6

Gently flatten the filled dough balls and roll each out into a circle about 5-6 inches in diameter, using a bit of dry flour to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Heat a tawa or skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled paratha on the hot tawa and cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubbles start to appear or the side begins to lightly brown.

Step 8

Flip the paratha and apply ghee or oil on the cooked side. Cook the other side, applying ghee or oil, pressing lightly with a spatula. Flip again to cook evenly on both sides till golden brown.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining dough balls and filling. Serve the hot sattu parathas with yogurt, pickle, or chutney of your choice.
