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…

Preparation:

• Peel and grate the radish, squeeze out the water in the radish with your hands. Slit and finely chop the green chilies.
• Heat ½ tsp of oil in a kadai, add in the cumin seeds, grated radish, garam masala, green chilies followed by salt, cook until the radish becomes dry.
• In a mixing bowl, take the wheat flour with required amount of salt, make a well in the centre of the flour and pour in ½ cup of water and start kneading the dough to a ball, add water if required.
• Pour in a tbsp of oil over the dough and knead it for few mins, then roll it together to a ball.
• Make medium sized ball out of the dough, spread flour over the rolling pan and flatten the dough with the rolling pin.
• Take a spoon full of grated radish and keep it in the centre of the dough, roll it again gently by dusting the flour.
• Heat oil in the griddle, gently place the paratha and drizzle oil around the paratha.
• Swap the sides and cook both the sides.

Serve hot with any dips. I have served it with Boondi (spicy/kara boondhi) Raitha and Tomato Ketchup.

Note: You can substitute chili powder with green chilies or can leaves of the green chilies.
