Paratha recipe is a whole wheat flatbread stuffed with grated radish. Mooli ka Paratha is another traditional Punjabi paratha recipe. It is lightly seasoned with common Indian spices. These parathas are filling and make a complete breakfast or lunch. It is often served as breakfast in most Punjabi homes during winter.

Personally, I am a huge fan of stuffed parathas and that’s because I love Radish paratha. It is not everyone’s favorite because radish has a strong taste and pungent smell. However, the strong smell is gone once parathas are cooked properly.

Mooli ka paratha is typically served with white butter, curd and pickle of your choice. You can also serve these parathas with curries. They are nutritious and ideal to carry along in your lunchbox.

Ingredients

For Dough

Whole Wheat Flour – 2 cups

Ghee – 1 teaspoon

Salt to taste

For stuffing

Finely shredded radish – 1 cup

Chopped coriander leaves – 1 tablespoon

Chopped green chilies – 2 (optional)

Red chili powder – 1 teaspoon

Salt to taste

Oil/Ghee for frying

White butter to serve with parathas

Method

Mix whole wheat flour with a little salt. Add ghee and rub it with your fingertips. Start adding water, little by little and knead into a smooth dough. Keep it aside for 15 minutes.

Squeeze excess water from shredded radish. Mix shredded radish, chopped coriander leaves, chopped green chilies and red chili powder in a bowl.

Divide the dough into medium size balls. Take a ball and roll it into a circle like a chapati using little flour for dusting. Put some prepared mixture in the center and sprinkle a little salt.

Join all the edges of the dough (rolled chapati) to seal the mixture in the center and press with your palm. Roll it again like a chapati (about 6 inches in diameter) using little flour for dusting.

Heat a tawa or griddle on medium heat. Place the rolled paratha on the hot tawa. Fry it using oil or ghee from both sides until brown spots appear. Likewise, make remaining parathas. Serve hot with white butter, pickle of your choice, curd or tea.
