Recipe
1
In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, a pinch of salt, and water to knead a soft, pliable dough. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.
2
In another bowl, mix sattu, onions, garlic, green chilies, coriander leaves, ajwain, mustard oil, lemon juice, salt, and 2 tablespoons of water to get a crumbly, moist mixture.
3
Divide the dough and sattu filling into equal portions of lemon-sized balls.
4
Roll a dough ball slightly, place a portion of sattu filling in the center, bring the edges together to seal, and gently roll it out into a paratha.
5
Heat a tawa on medium flame, place the paratha, and cook by applying ghee on both sides until golden brown and crisp.
6
For the sabzi, heat oil in a pan, add cumin seeds, and let them crackle.
7
Add chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, and red chili powder, cooking until tomatoes turn mushy and oil separates.
8
Add boiled potato cubes and salt, tossing well to coat with the masala.
9
Pour in a cup of water, bring to a simmer, and cook for 5 minutes before finishing with garam masala.
10
Serve hot sattu parathas alongside the steaming aloo tamatar sabzi.
