Recipe
1
In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and a pinch of salt. Gradually add water to knead into a smooth, pliable dough. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.
2
For the filling, mix sattu, chopped onion, green chilies, ginger, garlic, coriander leaves, ajwain, mustard oil, lemon juice, salt, and a splash of water to get a crumbly yet binding texture.
3
Divide the dough and sattu filling into equal portions.
4
Roll a dough ball into a small disc, place a portion of the sattu filling in the center, bring the edges together to seal, and gently roll it out into a paratha.
5
Heat a tawa over medium flame, place the paratha, and cook using ghee until golden brown spots appear on both sides.
6
Serve hot with freshly prepared smoky tomato chokha.
