Ingredients
Dough
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
Filling
- 1/4 cup Sattu Flour
- 1/4 cup Cabbage grated
- 1/4 cup Beetroot grated
- 1 tbsp Ginger grated
- 1 Chili finely chopped, green
- 2 tbsp Coriander chopped
- 1 tsp Garam Masala
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
For Cooking
- 2 tbsp Sesame Oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water and knead into a smooth, pliable dough. This builds gluten, which provides structure. Cover the dough and let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, making the dough easier to roll.
- Heat the sesame oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the grated cabbage, beetroot, and grated ginger. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
- Add the chopped green chili, sattu flour, garam masala, and salt. Mix well and cook for another minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro. Set aside to cool.
- Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle. Place a spoonful of the prepared filling in the center of each circle.
- Carefully bring the edges of the dough together to enclose the filling, pinching to seal tightly. Gently flatten the filled dough balls.
- Heat a flat griddle or tawa over medium heat. Cook each paratha for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown spots appear and the filling is cooked through. Drizzle with a little more sesame oil while cooking for added flavor and crispness.
- Serve the sattu and beetroot parathas hot, ideally with a dollop of yogurt or chutney of your choice. These parathas are also perfect for packing in a lunchbox.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For a softer filling, lightly sauté the grated beetroot and cabbage with the ginger and green chillies before mixing with sattu flour—this helps release excess moisture and enhances the flavors without making the paratha soggy.
- If you prefer a gluten-free version, substitute the wheat dough with a mix of millet (such as bajra or jowar) and rice flour, but be sure to knead with warm water for better pliability.
- Serve the parathas with a tangy yogurt dip or a quick cucumber raita; the acidity and coolness complement the earthy, spicy flavors and help balance the heat from the green chillies and garam masala.
Expert Tips
- For extra vibrant color and a subtle sweetness, add a finely grated carrot to the beetroot and cabbage mixture.
- Experiment with different spices in the filling! A pinch of amchur (dried mango powder) or chaat masala can add a tangy kick.
- Don't overfill the parathas, as this can make them difficult to roll and cook evenly. Aim for a thin, even layer of filling.
Storage Instructions
- Leftover parathas stay fresh for up to two days when wrapped in a clean cloth and stored in an airtight container.
- Reheat on a tawa with a few drops of ghee or oil to revive their texture before serving.
