Recipe
1
In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and a pinch of salt. Gradually add water and knead into a smooth, pliable dough. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.
2
In a separate bowl, mix the sattu, chopped onions, green chilies, ginger, garlic, mustard oil, pickle masala, coriander leaves, and salt. Sprinkle a few drops of water so the mixture holds its shape.
3
Divide the dough and the sattu filling into equal portions of lemon-sized balls.
4
Roll out a dough ball slightly, place a sattu portion in the center, bring the edges together to seal, and gently roll it out into a neat paratha.
5
Roast the tomatoes and dried red chilies over an open flame until the tomato skin is charred and blistered. Peel the tomatoes and mash them together with the roasted chilies, chopped onions, mustard oil, and salt to make the chokha.
6
Heat a tawa (griddle) over medium flame, place the rolled paratha, and cook using ghee until golden brown spots appear on both sides.
7
Serve the hot sattu parathas immediately with the warm tomato chokha and a dollop of fresh butter.
