Mooli Ke Parathe During Lazy Days

Mooli Ke Parathe

Mooli paratha are one of my favorite paratha’s, it always reminds me Nagpur’s old cold days, where granny used to make hot..hot Paratha’s for breakfast. Usually granny used to stuff the mooli (radish) mixture into wheat dough and rolled into paratha’s. However, I like to make my paratha’s little thin, something like methi theplas. I grate the radish, mix into the wheat flour with other spices, and make into wheat dough. I know its little different but very easy and fast to make. So here you go for the recipe….
Ingredients:
1 cup white radish, peeled and grated
1 tsp fresh grated ginger
1 tsp Red Chilli Powder
1 tsp Amchur Powder (Dry Mango Powder)
1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
1 tbsp Cumin seeds
2 cups Whole Wheat flour
salt to taste
Oil to fry
Method:
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl with 1 tbsp oil and mix to make a soft dough (use only little water).Knead well and let it rest for 30 mins to 1 hour. Make small balls out of the dough and roll out the dough with a rolling pin. Dust liberally with more flour as you are rolling. Gently pat off the excess flour and roast on a hot tava (griddle). Fry one side for 1 minute and then turn over and brush with a little oil. When the second side is done and golden brown, flip and brush with a little oil on that side too. Serve hot with pickles or Yoghurt.
