Ingredients

• Sattu (roasted chickpea flour) - 200 grams
• Whole wheat flour (for dusting) - 50 grams
• Onion (finely chopped) - 1 medium
• Green chili (finely chopped) - 1
• Coriander leaves (finely chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Black salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Regular salt - to taste
• Water - as needed

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine sattu, chopped onion, green chili, coriander leaves, cumin powder, black salt, and regular salt. Mix well.
2. Gradually add water to the mixture and knead until a dough forms. The dough should be soft and pliable but not sticky.
3. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
4. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
5. Dust a clean surface with whole wheat flour. Roll out each ball into a flat circle, about 6-8 inches in diameter.
6. Heat a skillet or tawa over medium heat. Once hot, place one rolled paratha on the skillet.
7. Cook for 1-2 minutes until small bubbles form, then flip it over and drizzle a little ghee or oil on top.
8. Cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes, pressing lightly with a spatula until golden brown.
9. Repeat the process for the remaining parathas.
10. Serve hot with yogurt or pickle.
