Sattu Paratha

Sattu paratha turns roasted gram flour into a filling meal. The dry flour is seasoned and moistened just enough to hold together before being enclosed in wheat dough and cooked on a hot surface.

Garlic, green chilli, onion, lemon and pickle oil are common companions, but proportions vary. The challenge is balance: a filling aromatic enough to stand on its own, yet moist enough not to spill as dry powder when the bread is opened.
