Mom Made Mooli Paratha

Paratha’s made of wheat and other flours are more nutritious and have rich Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B6 and B9 which keeps you strong and healthy.Mooli or radish is not very well known vegetable. The reason why a lot of people dislike this vegetable is its pungent smell and strong taste.  Mooli is used in recipe of sambar and dal. Also it is cut and served as salad in lunch. The stuffed paratha made from mooli filling is tasty because of the way it is prepared. Most of the odour is gone once cooked properly. What remains is the taste of mooli along with indian spices that goes really well in paratha.Mooli parathas are prepared in several different ways. One way is by stuffing the mooli inside paratha, another is by mixing mooli right inside paratha dough. Either way taste similar. I pick whatever way I feel like making and also depending on time at hand. If I want to make quick mooli paratha then I simply grate it, squeeze out the water and mix with flour. Try both ways and see for yourself what you prefer.

How to Make Mooli Ka Paratha

1.Break the dough into small pieces, shape into round balls and flatten.

2.Pinch the edges to form a cup, and place some mooli mixture in the center.

3.Wet the edges and bring together to enclose the filling. Pinch to seal.

4.Roll out this stuffed ball to smoothen, dip in dry flour and roll out as thinly as you can without tearing, like you roll a chapatti being careful not to tear it.

5.Heat the tawa till very hot, lower the heat and place one parantha over it.

6.When the edges start lifting, take some ghee and make a trail along the outer edge of the parantha and some on the surface.

7.Brown on both sides and serve.
