Vegetables stuffed Mooli Paratha

Itz Paratha love!!!

When I got a big fat radish from the super market, I thought of making Parathas. I am using Tarla Dalals recipe to prepare the paratha. The original recipe says to add the radish leaves or fenugreek leaves while making the dough. I dint have both theses leaves at home this time.

I prepared Green peas potato Croquettes. When ever I prepare Tikkis, I keep “ready to fry tikkis” in chiller and griddle fry as and when required. I finish them in maximum 3 days. So I thought of stuffing them in my parathas…

So I end up making plain parathas and few stuffed parathas.

For Mooli Parathas you need,

• whole wheat flour – 4 cups + extra for rolling
• Grated white radish (mooli) – 2 cups
• Curd/yogurt – 1 cup (you may need less)
• turmeric powder – 1 tsp
• Chilli powder – 3 tsp
• Oil – 2 tsp + rest for cooking smearing the parathas
• salt to taste

You have to,

• Combine wheat flour, radish, turmeric, chili powder and half the curd in a bowl
• Knead into a soft dough, using rest of the curd required (after grating the radish leaves some juice ).
• Once it start forming dough add 2 tsp oil and continue kneading to a soft dough

• So divide stuffing to equal small portions.
• Take similar portions from the mooli paratha dough. (Refer this link )
• Now heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and cook each paratha, till they turn golden brown in colour from both the sides.
• Repeat the same with rest of the dough

• Well,  all parathas need no be stuffed. If you want to make a plain mooli paratha, make them using this dough
• Divide the dough into lime sized balls and roll out each portion thinly into discs
• Use little whole wheat flour for rolling.
• Griddle fry them

Both the plain and stuffed paratha will go well with curd.
