Mooli(Radish)Paratha

Radish a root vegetable comes in bulbs and long carrot shape.
I make parathas with the small red bulb radish as well as the long white ones. I have shown both my methods here.






Ingredients

Mooli(Radish)grated-2cups
Onion(cut finely)-1/2 cup
Wheat Flour- 2 cups
Salt-2 pinch

Seasoning

CuminSeeds-2 tsp
Sambar Pdr-2 tsp
Oil/Ghee-3 tsp

Method 1
  1. In a hot pan put 1 tsp oil/ghee off it and add cumin seeds and sambar pdr.
  2. Then add the onion. When the Onion turn brown add the grated radish,salt and sauté it in low heat till all the water evapourates.
  3. Add the sauted mixture to the wheat flour and knead it into a dough(add water if necessary).
  4. Divide the dough into 8-10 equal balls and roll them out with a rolling pin.
  5. Heat a dosa tawa.
  6. Put the parathas one by one when the tawa is hot and dry. Brush ghee on one side.Turn over to the other side and brush ghee on the other side. Cook it pressing each side with a spatula.
Method 2

You can use the normal white radish also to make mooli paratha

Radish – 1 long(11/2 cup when grated)
Sambar pdr – 1 tsp
Salt
Oil – 1 tsp
Wheat flour – 3 cups
Water to knead.

  1. Peel the skin of the radish and wash well.
  2. Grate the radish. In a pan add 1 tsp oil. Add 1 tsp sambar pdr to it. Then add radish and little salt. Fry it till the water evapourates. Also the raw smell goes away. Cool it. Add the flour and mix it.
  3. Add water if necessary while kneading to make it a thick dough.
  4. Do not add water without getting a feel of the radish and flour since the radish has tendency to become sogy.
  5. Let it sit for an hour or 2 . Make it into round or triangular paratha. Shallow fry both sides brushing oil or ghee.Serve it hot with curd or any gravy.
