Sattu Paratha | Spicy Roasted Bengal Gram powder stuffed Indian Flat Bread
Last week was really a hectic one. In a life with this speed, balancing both personal and professional lives and maintaining standards both at home and the office seems like a Herculean task. The work at the office is so much that nothing else seems to be doable. Uff !! And a normal weekend seems like greeting a thirsty person in hot desert with 2 drops of water, whose thirst increases instead of getting satisfied.
But anyways can’t deny, this is a part of family life. The weekend seems like, a hell lot of tasks:
- Check for Groceries and make the list of unavailable stuff
- Wash clothes
- Find a good movie or two to watch
- Call friends .. I am getting unsocial
- Need to talk to mamma and mummy
Oh the list goes on !! But the easiest and highest priority task was to grab the veggies and groceries. In the supermarket my eyes fell on Sattu powder packet. I felt like trying the Sattoo Paratha which I had sometimes before in a Marwari restaurant.
And the mood was set for the dinner to make Sattoo Paratha.
