Take a bowl, mix wheat flour, salt, oil, gradually add water to knead a soft and pliable dough, then cover and set aside for 20 minutes.
Mix sattu, onion, green chilli, coriander, ajwain, kalonji, mustard oil, lemon juice, salt in a bowl and add a little water to form a crumbly but moist filling.
Divide the dough into equal balls, roll out one ball and place the filling in the centre, then seal the edges to form a pouch and gently roll into a paratha.
Heat a tawa, cook the paratha until light brown spots appear, flip, apply ghee/oil and cook on both sides.
Serve the sattu paratha with curd or pickle!
