It is sattu stuffed paratha.

The sattu stuffing can be prepared exactly like the stuffing for litti, given in our recipe section. Then it is stuffed inside the atta (flour) dough and made in round paratha and cooked with ghee or oil. I will give the stuffing ingredients again.

Ingredients

• 1 cup sattu
• 2 or more green chilies, finely chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1 inch ginger, finely chopped
• ½ cup fresh dhaniya (cilantro) leaves, finely chopped
• ½ tsp. mangrella (nigella or onion seed)
• 1 tsp. ajwain
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Salt to taste
• 2 tblsp. mustard or olive oil
• 1 or 2 tblsp. mircha achar masala (fillings from the red chili pickle)

Mix all the filling ingredients with sattu together nicely. Add ¼ to ½ cup water to make the stuffing moist and easy to fill.

Make dough with 1½ cup of wheat flour. The dough should be soft but not too soft. Keep covered for 15 minutes.

Take a small amount of dough like the amount you take to make roti. Dust with dry atta and make a small disc with hand, then take about 2 tsp of the stuffing and put in the middle of the dough disc. Press the sattu stuffing a little with finger and close the dough from all side so the stuffing does not comes out of the dough. Now press this lightly with palm, dust with dry flour and with the help of belan make round paratha. Heat a tawa and cook the paratha first on both the sides, then add ghee or oil and cook until crispy on both the sides.
