Recipe
1
Knead the whole wheat flour with water into a soft, pliable dough and let it rest for 15 minutes.
2
In a mixing bowl, combine the sattu, chopped onions, green chilies, ginger, garlic, coriander leaves, ajwain, mustard oil, lemon juice, salt, and a splash of water to form a crumbly yet cohesive mixture.
3
Roast the eggplants and tomatoes directly over an open flame until the skin is charred and the flesh is tender.
4
Peel the charred skin off the eggplants and tomatoes, mash them together in a bowl, and mix in chopped onions, green chilies, mustard oil, and salt to prepare the chokha.
5
Divide the dough into equal portions, roll each into a small cup, and stuff with a generous amount of the sattu mixture.
6
Seal the edges carefully, flatten gently, and roll out into a thick paratha.
7
Cook the paratha on a hot griddle, applying ghee on both sides until golden brown and crisp.
8
Serve the hot sattu parathas immediately alongside the warm spicy chokha.
