Sattu Paratha

By Mita Mondal
Sattu paratha is a local variety of stuffed flatbread, mainly consumed in Bihar and Jharkhand. The flavored sattu is sealed in wheat flour dough, rolled to medium thickness, and cooked on a hot tawa with some oil or ghee until it gets a nice golden-brown color and crispness on both sides.

Ingredients
  

To make the sattu stuffing:

  • 2 cups sattu roasted gram flour
  • 1 tbsp green chili finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp garlic finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup onion finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp ginger finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp coriander leaves finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp carom seeds ajwain
  • ½ tsp nigella seeds kalonji or kala jeera
  • 1 tbsp pickle mango or mixed pickle
  • 2 tbsp mustard oil
  • Salt to taste

To make the paratha dough:

  • 2 cups wheat flour atta
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Water as required

To fry the paratha:

  • Cooking oil or ghee as required

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl take 2 cups of sattu (roasted gram flour) and add 1 tbsp of finely chopped green chilies, 2 tbsp of garlic, 1/3 cup of onion, 1 tbsp of ginger, 3 tbsp of coriander leaves, 1 tbsp of lemon juice, 1 tsp of carom seeds (ajwain), ½ tsp of nigella seeds (kalonji or kala jeera), 1 tbsp of pickle (mango or mixed pickle), and 2 tbsp of mustard oil. Also add salt to taste and mix them all very nicely. Keep it aside.
  • In a separate bowl, take 2 cups of wheat flour (atta) and mix ½ tsp of salt with it. Then add water gradually as required to make a soft dough. Cover the bowl with a plate and let it rest for about 15 minutes.
  • Make relatively large dough balls. Press with your fingers in a circular motion to shape it like a bowl. Put 2 to 3 tbsp of sattu stuffing in it.
  • Now, press the sattu stuffing with your fingers. Bring the ends closer by moving it in circular motion. Seal it properly.
  • Heat a tawa over a medium flame. In the meantime, roll it to make a relatively thick paratha, pressing it gently and evenly on all sides to spread the sattu stuffing evenly inside.
  • Put the paratha on the preheated tawa. Flip it after 20 seconds. Apply ghee or cooking oil on the surface. Flip again. Grease the other surface with ghee.
  • Flip it a couple of times until both sides are nicely cooked and turn golden brown. Remove when done.
  • Your tasty and crispy homemade sattu paratha is ready to enjoy. Serve them hot with tomato chutney, plain or spiced curd.

Notes

Do not add water to make the sattu stuffing.
I have used mustard oil in the sattu stuffing. You can replace it with any other cooking oil or the oil of the achaar to the sattu stuffing as well.
The quantity of nigella seeds in the sattu stuffing should be half of carom seeds.
The dough can also be made with a mixture of atta and maida.
Though I do not, you may add a small amount of cooking oil or ghee to the dough. It will result in softer and crispier parathas.
