Sattu Ke Paratthe

Sattu ke paratthe is roasted gram flour filled paratthe which is generally eaten in Eastern part of India. Roasted gram flour is easily found in India but outside of India, it is very difficult to find and generally not available in any shop, mall, departmental store. If you are staying outside India, then you have to bring it from India.

This paratha can be good options for travel or picnic too. This taste great either way as you eat just hot from tawa or eat after 4 - 5 hours of cooking. Baingan bharta and pickles make the great combination with it. It also tastes well with potato tomato gravy vegetables.

Serve it with Baingan bharta, pickles or Raita.

Notes:

1. You can use pickles spice instead of chat masala if you have. It enhances taste of filling.
2. Green chillies can be adjusted as per your taste.
3. Onion and green chillies should be fine chopped.
4. Roll dough softly with light pressure otherwise filling can come out.
