Instructions

1
Knead wheat flour with water, a pinch of salt and 1 tbsp mustard oil into a soft dough. Let it rest for 20 minutes.
2
Mix sattu (roasted gram flour), chopped onion, green chilli, garlic, ajwain (carom seeds), lemon juice, 1 tbsp mustard oil, salt and water until crumbly.
3
Divide dough into balls and flatten them. Stuff generously with the sattu filling, seal the edges, and roll gently into a paratha (flatbread).
4
Heat a tawa (flat griddle) on medium heat.
5
Place the rolled paratha on the hot tawa. Cook until small bubbles form on the surface.
6
Flip the paratha and drizzle mustard oil around the edges. Press it down gently as it cooks.
7
Cook both sides until golden brown patches appear and the paratha is cooked through.

Serve hot with pickle and yoghurt or plain curd.
