Recipe:
Preparing the Dough:
- In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt.
- Gradually add water and knead to form a smooth, soft dough.
- Optionally, add a teaspoon of oil to make the dough pliable.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
Preparing the Sattu Stuffing:
- In a mixing bowl, combine sattu, chopped onion, green chilies, garlic (if using), ginger, and coriander leaves.
- Add ajwain, kalonji (if using), lemon juice, pickle masala, mustard oil and salt.
- Mix well. You can sprinkle some water if the stuffing is too dry. The mixture should be moist enough to hold together but not too wet.
Assembling the Parathas:
- Divide the dough into equal-sized balls.
- Take one ball and roll it out into a small circle using a rolling pin.
- Place a portion of the sattu stuffing in the middle of the rolled dough.
- Gather the edges of the dough to enclose the stuffing, pinching to seal.
- Flatten the stuffed ball gently and roll it out into a paratha, being careful not to let the stuffing spill out. Use a little dry flour to dust if necessary.
Cooking the Parathas:
- Heat a tawa (griddle) over medium heat.
- Place the rolled paratha on the hot tawa.
- Cook for a few seconds until bubbles start to appear, then flip.
- Apply ghee or oil on the cooked side, flip again, and apply ghee or oil on the other side.
- Cook until both sides are golden brown and crisp, pressing lightly with a spatula.
- Repeat with the remaining dough and stuffing.
Serving
