Radish Fry

Standard

I have shared many veggies recipes, but I shared only one radish recipe (Mooli paratha), up to now. Usually I use radish for sambar, this is the first time I have tried radish for a side dish.

Radish roast was very simple, easy and needs very few ingredients to prepare. This was delicious and now I prepare it very often. Let us move on to the recipe…

Mooli Paratha / Radish Paratha

Standard

Recently my daughter has gone crazy towards paratha and she wants me to try out something new in paratha’s for dinner. This resulted in today’s mooli paratha – nothing but I have stuffed paratha with fried grated mooli with green chilies. A healthy, delicious dinner not only for kids but for everyone. Let us move on to the recipe…
