Cook the Parathas
Serve
For extra nutrition, you can add finely grated carrots or radish to the sattu filling. Make sure to squeeze out any excess water from the vegetables.
Crumble some paneer (Indian cottage cheese) into the filling for a richer texture and added protein.
Add a pinch of asafoetida (hing) to the filling for enhanced flavor and better digestion. You can also add a little red chili powder for extra heat.
While ghee is traditional for cooking parathas, you can use any neutral vegetable oil as a substitute.
Sattu is a powerhouse of plant-based protein, which is essential for muscle repair, building tissues, and overall body strength.
The combination of sattu and whole wheat flour provides a high amount of dietary fiber, which aids in digestion, prevents constipation, and promotes a healthy gut.
Sattu has natural cooling properties that help hydrate the body and protect it from the adverse effects of heat, making it an ideal food for summer.
With a low glycemic index, sattu releases sugar into the blood slowly, providing a steady supply of energy and keeping you feeling full and active for longer.
Yes, Sattu Paratha is a very healthy and nutritious meal. Sattu is rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and essential minerals like iron and magnesium. The whole wheat flour adds more fiber, making it a balanced and filling dish, especially when served with yogurt.
A single Sattu Paratha contains approximately 200-250 calories, depending on its size and the amount of ghee or oil used for cooking. A serving of two parathas would be around 400-500 calories.
Tearing usually happens for three reasons: the dough is too stiff, the filling is too wet, or you've overstuffed it. Ensure your dough is soft and well-rested, the filling is moist but not watery, and you use a moderate amount of filling for each paratha.
Yes. You can prepare the dough and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The filling can also be made ahead and refrigerated. Let the dough come to room temperature before rolling.
Sattu Paratha is traditionally served with Baingan ka Bharta (roasted eggplant mash), Aloo Chokha (spiced mashed potatoes), plain yogurt (dahi), and a tangy pickle. It's a complete meal in itself.
Sattu is roasted gram flour. If you cannot find it, you can make a substitute by dry roasting regular besan (gram flour) in a pan on low heat until it becomes aromatic and slightly changes color. Let it cool completely before using.
