How to cook it
-
Make a soft dough with the whole wheat flour, a little salt, a spoon of mustard oil, and water; cover and rest for 20 minutes.
-
In a bowl, mix the sattu with the onion, green chilies, ginger, garlic, ajwain, lemon juice, cilantro, and a spoon of mustard oil, adding a splash of water so the filling just holds together.
-
Divide the dough into balls, flatten each into a small disc, and place a generous spoonful of the sattu filling in the center.
-
Gather the edges up and over the filling to seal it into a stuffed ball, then flatten gently and roll out carefully into a thick round without letting the filling spill out.
-
Cook on a hot tawa with a little mustard oil on both sides, pressing gently, until golden-brown spots appear on each side, about 4 minutes total.
-
Serve hot with chokha or pickle on the side.
