Ingredients

  • 300 g Wholemeal Flour
  • 200 g Mooli Daikon radish, grated
  • 2 Green Chillies finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp Ginger grated
  • 1 tbsp Coriander Leaves chopped
  • 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
  • 1 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1 tsp Chilli Powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil for cooking

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the wholemeal flour and a pinch of salt.
  • Slowly add water and knead until you have a smooth and firm dough. Cover and set aside for 15 minutes to rest.
  • In another bowl, mix together the grated mooli, chopped green chillies, grated ginger, chopped coriander leaves, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, and salt to taste. Set aside.
  • Divide the dough into 8 equal-sized balls.
  • Roll out each ball into a small circle, place a portion of the mooli filling in the center, and seal the edges to enclose the filling.
  • Roll out each stuffed ball gently into a flatbread, ensuring the filling is evenly distributed.
  • Heat a non-stick pan or tava over medium heat.
  • Place a rolled-out paratha onto the hot pan and cook until bubbles start to appear on the surface.
  • Flip the paratha and brush some oil on top. Cook until golden brown spots appear on both sides, pressing lightly with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
  • Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls and filling.
  • Serve hot with yogurt, pickle, or any chutney of your choice.

Notes

For a healthier option, you can use wholemeal flour for the dough.
Adjust the quantity of green chillies and red chilli powder according to your spice preference.
Ensure the mooli filling is well-drained to prevent the parathas from becoming soggy.
These parathas are best enjoyed fresh and hot off the pan.
