One of the recipes that have been in bookmarks for a long time is this Makuni Recipe | Bihari Sattu Stuffed Paratha Recipe.
Sattu is powdered fried gram dal and this dish uses the ground dal powder and some spices as a filling. The resultant paratha is so yum and filling!
In one of the previous editions of Blogging Marathon, I made this Cooling Sattu ka namkeen sherbet and ever since I made that my mind was fixed on making this sattu stuffed paratha.
When I was looking for recipes that start with M,I found a lot of them but they seemed mundane. Then I found this alternate name for sattu stuffed paratha and I was over joyed!
I made this during tea time and we had it with our evening coffee. It tastes good on its own and does not require any side as well.
Before we go on to the recipe here is a collection of Parathas / Roti that start with M

- Missi Roti
- Methi vegetable and cheese paratha
- Masala methi paratha
- Methi Paratha
- Methi khakra

The sattu paratha looks super and it is interesting to learn a new name for this paratha.
The stuffing with pickle is making me drool , and I love it ., it’s almost like the stuffing of Litti that I made for L .
Great pick for the alphabet !
Especially that stuffing rocks. pickle oil in stuffing makes its more interesting. Makuni looks absolutely prefect to have without any side dish. Bihari Makuni rocks PJ.
Didn’t know that sattu paratha had an alternate name…glad you found this unique dish for M! And your serveware are really eye catchy!
Wow! this sounds like a very flavorful paratha, PJ. Very interesting
Makuni with that stuffing looks so delicious and healthy.
I love sattu parathas, they are so delicious. Didn’t know they were also called Makuni. Like your version of cooking them without oil.
I love sattu paratha and when we add pickle masala it tastes fantastic. This is a wonderful pick for the letter PJ..
I did not know that the sattu roti had a name by itself. Looks perfect PJ and we are learning so much in this flatbread BM.
Sattu based paratha is not only healthy, but yum as well. My maid made it once in the breakfast and my whole family loved it, but didn’t have any idea about its name. She called it sattu paratha only. Good to know about its name, I can boost off about my knowledge of Bihari cuisine 😀
nice to know that sattu paratha is also called as makuni paratha. I love bihari sattu paratha, for me it is perfect to carry along while travelling. great recipe with the letter M.
