Dough Preparation:

  2. Add onion (pyaz), garlic (lehsun), ginger (adrak), green chilli (hari mirch), coriander leaves (dhaniya patti) and mustard oil (sarson ka tel) to the sattu and mix again. If the mixture appears dry add 2-3 tea spoon of water and mix well.

  1. Roll small balls of the dough and form small bowl like depression (like katori) using hands and fingers.
  2. Now using a tea-spoon, place enough sattu stuffing at the center of each dough bowls, and fold it to form a small ladoo like dumplings.
  3. Roll these dumpling into flat round stuffed chapatis. 
  4. Heat a tawa and grease it with ghee or refined oil. Lay the stuffed chapatis onto it and allow it to cook. Flip to other side and let it cook too. Apply ghee or oil on the top side flip and repeat the same step. Flip, press and cook both sides turn golden brown, on medium flame. 
  5. Serve hot with chutney, pickle or any curry.
