Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup Sattu flour (roasted gram flour)
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 2 small, finely chopped Green chili
• 1 inch, grated Ginger
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh coriander leaves
• 1 teaspoon Carom seeds
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Chat masala
• 4 tablespoons Ghee or oil
• 0 as needed Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour with a pinch of salt and one tablespoon of oil or ghee. Gradually add water and knead to form a soft, pliable dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.

Step 2

In another bowl, mix the sattu flour with finely chopped onion, green chilies, grated ginger, coriander leaves, carom seeds, cumin seeds, 1 tsp of salt, red chili powder, and chat masala. Stir in a tablespoon of oil or ghee and mix well.

Step 3

Gradually add water, a little at a time, to the sattu mixture and knead it into a crumbly, moist stuffing. The mixture should hold together when formed into a ball without being too sticky.

Step 4

Divide the whole wheat dough into equal portions, rolling each piece into a ball. Flatten each ball slightly by pressing it between your palms.

Step 5

Take one dough ball and roll it into a small disc using a rolling pin. Place a generous portion of the sattu filling in the center of the disc.

Step 6

Bring the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching them together to seal the stuffing completely. Flatten the dough again softly using your palms.

Step 7

Gently roll out the stuffed dough ball into a circle approximately 6-7 inches in diameter. Be cautious while rolling to ensure the filling does not spill out.

Step 8

Heat a tawa or skillet over medium-high heat. Place the rolled-out paratha on the skillet.

Step 9

Cook the paratha, lightly pressing with a spatula, until you see golden spots and bubbles form. Flip the paratha and apply a small amount of ghee or oil on top.

Step 10

Press again with the spatula, cook until both sides are golden-brown, and the paratha is cooked through.

Step 11

Repeat this process with the remaining dough and stuffing to make more parathas.

Step 12

Serve the high protein sattu parathas hot with curd, pickle, or any accompaniment of your choice.
