MOOLI PARATHA RECIPE - STEP BY STEP
Mooli paratha - Mooli paratha is a very popular Indian flat bread made with whole wheat flour stuffed with grated radish.
Radish, a root vegetable is very healthy and nutritious . It is good for diabetic patients. It is rich in folic acid and other minerals. It can be eaten raw or can be served as salads. It has a pungent taste and smell. I normally prepare sambar and pachadi with this veggie , this is the first time I prepared paratha and it did come out very well.
Now coming to the recipe , it is very simple to prepare. Wash,peel and grate the radish . Squeeze the water from it (preserve the water as it can be used to prepare the dough). Heat oil in a pan and pour little oil. Add cumin seeds, when they turn brown add the chopped onions and green chillies, fry it well. Now add the radish , tip in the turmeric powder along with little salt and mix well. Allow it to cook for about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat. In a bowl Mix the wheat flour with the radish water and salt. Gradually add water and form a dough. Finally add little oil and make a soft and smooth dough. Cover with a wet cloth and let it rest for about 20 minutes. Pinch a small portion from the dough and make a perfect ball shape, roll it , place the radish mixture and seal the edges. Dust it in the flour and roll again and make a paratha. Place them in a hot tawa and when done serve it hot .
