How to make Sattu Paratha?
How to make stuffing
To make paratha, first make the stuffing. For this, take out the chana sattu in a big plate. In Sattu, add nigella seeds, celery, green chillies, finely chopped ginger, chopped onion, green coriander, lemon juice and mango pickle masala or add mango pickle after removing the seeds and finely chopping it. Add a little water so that it is easy to fill the stuffing.
Apply the dough like this
Add a little salt to the flour and add water to make a soft dough like it is used for potato paratha. Knead it well until it gets a very smooth texture. Until it starts leaving the pot. Leave it to roast for 10 minutes.
Make parathas in this way
Now take some dough and make balls from it and spread it with your hands and fill the sattu filling as per requirement. Now add dry flour to it and roll it with light hands so that the paratha does not tear. Sattu parathas should be rolled a little thick. Fry it well in oil or desi ghee on medium flame.
Serve chokha with it
Cut the brinjal from the middle, put garlic cloves in it and apply a little oil on top and roast it. Along with this, fry the tomatoes and boil the potatoes. After boiling, remove the peels of tomato and brinjal and then mash the potatoes along with both the things. Add basic spices in it and along with it add finely chopped onion, mustard oil and green coriander, finely chopped ginger, green chilli and lemon juice. You are just ready to sharpen.
