Cook the Sattu Rotis
Serve
Increase the number of green chilies or add a pinch of red chili powder to the sattu stuffing for extra heat.
Add 1 tablespoon of finely chopped mint leaves or 1 teaspoon of kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) to the stuffing for a different flavor profile.
Add finely grated carrots or radish to the sattu mixture for added texture and nutrients. Ensure you squeeze out all excess water from the vegetables before adding.
Sattu, made from roasted chickpeas, is an excellent source of plant-based protein, essential for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function.
The combination of whole wheat flour and sattu provides a high amount of dietary fiber, which aids digestion, promotes gut health, and helps in maintaining stable blood sugar levels.
Sattu is known for its cooling properties, making it an ideal food to consume during hot weather. It helps to keep the body hydrated and prevents heatstroke.
As a low-glycemic index food, sattu releases sugar into the blood slowly, providing a steady supply of energy and keeping you full for longer, which can aid in weight management.

Absolutely. For a 'no onion, no garlic' version, simply omit them from the stuffing. You can add a pinch of asafoetida (hing) to the mustard oil for a similar savory depth of flavor.
Store leftover rotis in an airtight container or wrapped in aluminum foil in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them on a tawa with a little ghee or in a microwave before serving.
Tearing usually happens for two reasons: either the stuffing is too wet, or the dough is too stiff. Ensure your stuffing is a moist, crumbly mixture and your dough is soft and pliable. Also, be sure to roll with gentle, even pressure.
