Recipe
1
Knead the whole wheat flour with water into a soft, pliable dough and let it rest for 20 minutes.
2
In a mixing bowl, combine the sattu flour, onions, ginger, garlic, green chilies, coriander leaves, mustard oil, carom seeds, nigella seeds, lemon juice, and salt.
3
Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water to the sattu mixture and rub it well so it becomes crumbly yet holds its shape when pressed.
4
Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a small cup shape.
5
Pack a generous spoonful of the sattu filling into the dough cup, seal the edges securely, and flatten it gently.
6
Roll the stuffed ball carefully into a thick paratha using a rolling pin, dusting with dry flour as needed.
7
Heat a tawa (griddle) over medium heat and place the rolled paratha on it.
8
Cook for a minute, flip, and apply ghee generously on both sides.
9
Press gently with a spatula until golden brown spots appear, then remove from heat.
10
Serve hot alongside a freshly prepared warm tomato chutney.
