MOOLI PARATHA / RADISH PARATHA

Hey all ! Here I am with another paratha recipe..

My friend was asking me to try mooli paratha,

since I posted aloo paratha..I tried it and came

out good as well.. So lets enjoy hot parathas :-)

MOOLI PARATHA RECIPE:

Recipe cuisine: Indian / Recipe category: Main Course

Prep time: 30 mins / cook time: 30 mins

FOR THE DOUGH:

Wheat flour : 2 cups

Water : As required

Salt : As required

Oil : 1 tsp + 1/8 cup for frying parathas

FOR THE STUFFING:

Radish grated: 2 medium sized

Coriander (chopped) : 1 tblsp

Ginger grated : 1 tsp

Green Chilly (chopped)  : 2 pcs

Cumin seeds : 1 tsp

Cumin powder : 2 tsp

Garam masala : 2 tsp

Salt : As required

Oil : 2 tsp

METHOD:

Take flour in a bowl, add salt & water slowly.

Start to knead the dough and make a smooth dough.

Pls make sure dough is not sticky or not hard.

Now add 1 tsp oil & knead the dough again.

Cover & keep aside in a air tight container for

15 - 20 mins.

Peel the skin of radish & grate it. Add salt &

 turmeric powder and keep the plate slanted.

After 10 mins, the water will drain. Now

squeeze gently to remove any excess water.

 

Heat pan & add oil.. Once hot, add cumin seeds/

ginger & chilly. Toss it for 2 mins & add grated

radish / cumin powder /garam masala powder.

Toss it for 2 mins in low flame & add coriander.

Switch off the flame & let it cool down.

Now make even round balls of both the stuffing

& the dough. The dough ball should be bigger than

the stuffing.

Now take a dough ball & roll it to form a small disc.
Apply water all over the disc and place radish stuffing
in the middle. Pls start to cover the stuffing with dough
as per the pics below :) Keep the dough stuffed with radish
 upside down till you finish stuffing the remaining dough.

Now grab the first dough stuffing & dust it with as much
wheat flour as possible both the sides. Start to roll the
dough stuffing gently with a rolling pin and make parathas.

Heat pan in medium flame. Once the pan is hot, transfer

the parathas. Start to cook both the sides with 1/2 tsp of oil.
Once parathas turn golden brown colour both the sides, remove it .
Continue the same process for rest of the parathas :)

Serve hot parathas with your favourite sabji / dahi & achar :-)

NOTE:
* The dough should be soft & firm. If it is sticky or hard,
parathas will become hard.
* We can also use the water we squeeze out from radish,
to knead the dough.
* For the stuffing, please use masala of your choice.
* While rolling the stuffed dough dusting flour is important.
In case if the dough breaks and stuffing comes out, the flour
will help to patch the same.
* I like to roll the parathas thin, if you want pls roll it a bit thicker.
* For frying paratahs, I used olive oil. Ghee or butter can also
be used.
