Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix flour with 0.5 cup water and a pinch of salt until a soft dough forms. Knead for 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Combine sattu, diced onion, chopped green chili, and 0.25 cup water in a bowl until it holds together as a filling.

  3. Step 3

    Divide dough into 2 balls. Flatten one, add 2 tbsp sattu filling to the center, fold edges up and seal.

  4. Step 4

    Roll gently into a 7-inch round without flattening the filling. Repeat with the second ball.

  5. Step 5

    Heat 1.5 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high. Fry one paratha 2 minutes per side until golden and blistered.

  6. Step 6

    Repeat with remaining 1.5 tbsp oil and second paratha. Serve hot with pickle or yogurt.
