-
1 cup grated radish (mooli)
-
1 teaspoon garam masala
-
Water (as needed)
-
1 tablespoon butter or ghee (for cooking)
Instructions for Preparing the Dough:
-
Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, salt, cumin seeds, coriander powder, turmeric, red chili powder, and fresh coriander.
-
Add Oil or Ghee: Add a tablespoon of oil or ghee to the flour mixture, making the dough soft and pliable.

Add Water Gradually: Slowly add water, stirring continuously until the dough comes together.
-
Knead the Dough: Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
-
Rest the Dough: Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
Preparing the Mooli Paratha:
-
Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine the grated radish, garam masala, and chopped coriander. Squeeze out excess water from the radish if necessary to avoid sogginess.
-
Roll the Dough: Divide the dough into small balls (6-8 pieces). Roll each ball into a flat circle, then place a spoonful of the radish filling in the center. Fold the edges over the filling, sealing it into a ball. Gently roll it out again into a stuffed paratha.

Tips for Perfect Mooli Paratha:

Spice it Up: Adjust the spices to your liking, especially the chili powder, depending on your spice tolerance.
