- 200 gm Whole-wheat flour
- 1 Radish
- 1 Green Chilli (finely chopped)
- 50 gm Fresh Coriander Leaves (roughly chopped)
- As per taste Salt
- 1/2 tsp Red Chilli Powder
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
- Ghee or Oil (to grease parantha)
- Peel and grate radish to make paratha.
- Now squeeze the shredded radish between your palms to release its juice and keep it aside.
- Now, take whole wheat flour in a bowl. Add salt as per taste and mix radish juice in it, and knead the flour to make the dough. You can also add plain water if required.
- Cover the dough with muslin cloth and leave it for 10 minutes. Meanwhile we will prepare stuffing mixture for our crispy Mooli Parantha.
- Add salt, red chili powder, cumin seeds, green chili and coriander leaves in shredded radish, and mix these ingredients very well.
- Keep this stuffing mixture aside and make medium sized balls from the dough. Dust one wheat ball with dry flour and roll in 4 inch size.
- Put 3 tsp stuffing mixture over it, fold it from all the sides and seal it properly. Then again dust it with flour and roll it in approximately 6 inch size with gentle pressure.
- Heat a tava and turn your paratha over the pre-heated tava. Grease your paratha from both the sides with Ghee or oil after a while, and let it bake on medium flame from both the sides.
- When your paratha covered with spots from both the sides, it is ready to serve hot with pickles, chutney, and tomato sauce.
- Enjoy the taste and healthy bites!
