Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup sattu (roasted chickpea flour)
  • ½ medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1 whole green chili, finely chopped
  • ¾ cup water, divided
  • 3 tbsp neutral cooking oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix flour with 0.5 cup water and a pinch of salt until a soft dough forms. Knead for 1 minute.

  2. 2

    Combine sattu, diced onion, chopped green chili, and 0.25 cup water in a bowl until it holds together as a filling.

  3. 3

    Divide dough into 2 balls. Flatten one, add 2 tbsp sattu filling to the center, fold edges up and seal.

  4. 4

    Roll gently into a 7-inch round without flattening the filling. Repeat with the second ball.

  5. 5

    Heat 1.5 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high. Fry one paratha 2 minutes per side until golden and blistered.

  6. 6

    Repeat with remaining 1.5 tbsp oil and second paratha. Serve hot with pickle or yogurt.
