Ingredients
- 100 g All-Purpose Flour /Maida Can be substituted with Atta or Wheat Flour
- 200 g Whole Wheat Flour
For Stuffing
- 150 g Dry roasted Bengal Gram Powder / Chatu /Sattu
- 1 Onion medium-Thinly chopped
- 4-5 Green Chili
- 1 teaspoon Sugar optional
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1 tablespoon Mustard Oil
- 100 ml Vegetable Refined Oil to shallow fry Parathas; can be substituted with Ghee/ Clarified Butter
- 2 tablespoon Butter optional; I don't use it
Instructions
- To make the chatu filling, combine the chatu with ½ teaspoon of salt, sugar, chopped chilies, chopped onions, lemon juice, and mustard oil.
- Next, prepare a medium-tight dough using the flour, ½ teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of refined oil. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 7-8 round balls. Roll out each ball into a small circle, about 2 cm in diameter. Place 2-3 teaspoons of the chatu mixture in the center of each circle.
- Heat a tawa, or flat pan. A non-stick pan works best for making paratha.
- Roll out one of the stuffed dough balls into a round paratha, or flatbread, approximately 5 cm in diameter. Place it on the heated tawa and roast on both sides. Apply a little vegetable oil or ghee to the paratha and shallow fry until it turns golden brown.
- Repeat this process with the remaining stuffed dough balls.
- Finally, spread some butter over the paratha and serve it hot with achar (pickle) and green chili.
Notes
Choosing wheat flour is a healthier way to go because it boosts the fiber content of your flatbreads.
