Recipe Information
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
- as needed Water
Instructions
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.
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.
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.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions, shaping them into balls. Flatten each ball slightly and make a small cup shape.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Repeat with the remaining dough balls and filling. Serve the hot sattu parathas with yogurt, pickle, or chutney of your choice.
