Sattu Paratha

Sattu Paratha Recipe

Ingredients:

1. For the Dough:
2. 2 cups whole wheat flour
3. Water, as needed
4. A pinch of salt
5. For the Filling:
6. 1 cup sattu (roasted gram flour)
7. 1 small onion, finely chopped
8. 2-3 green chilies, finely chopped
9. 1-2 tbsp fresh coriander leaves, chopped
10. 1 tsp ginger paste
11. Pickle of your choice
12. 1 tsp cumin seeds
13. Salt to taste
14. Water, as needed to make a smooth filling

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
2. In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water to form a soft dough. Cover and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
3. Prepare the Filling:
4. In another bowl, mix sattu, chopped onion, green chilies, pickle, coriander leaves, ginger-chillie paste, cumin seeds, and salt. Add a little water to make a smooth filling.
5. Roll the Parathas:
6. Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. Take one ball and roll it out into a small circle (about 4 inches in diameter).
7. Place a spoonful of the sattu filling in the center. Bring the edges together to enclose the filling and pinch to seal.
8. Gently flatten the stuffed ball and roll it out into a larger circle (about 6-7 inches).
9. Cook the Parathas:
10. Heat a tava or skillet over medium heat. Cook the rolled paratha for about 1-2 minutes on one side until bubbles form.
11. Flip it over and apply a little oil or ghee. Cook until golden brown on both sides, pressing gently with a spatula.
12. Serve:
13. Serve hot with yogurt, pickle, or chutney.
