Mooli Paratha

Preparation time:

Cooking time:

No. of servings: 4

List of ingredients:

  • 1 tsp. Carom Seeds
  • 1 cup Cilantro(finely chopped)
  • 1 tbsp. Ginger(paste)
  • 3 cups Radish(grated)
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 cups Flour (Whole wheat)
  • Vegetable Oil for frying
  • 6 nos. Green Chilies(finely chopped)
  • 2 tbsps. Dill

Cooking procedure:

Mix together all of the ingredients to make a little stiff dough. Add water if needed. You may need to adjust the quantity of flour a little to keep the dough stiff. (Use the dough immediately because radish leaves its own water, so dough will get very soft and hard to manage). Divide the dough into several balls and roll each ball into a round shape like thick chapati. Heat a tava and place the paratha over it, when done on one side turn on the other side and apply oil on both sides. Cook further for a few second until paratha turn golden colored on both side. Serve hot with Yogurt, Dhania chutney or tomato sauce.

Mooli Paratha

There are different ways you can prepare mooli paratha. One way is to grate mooli and add it straight to the flour (atta) and knead to a dough (recipe given below). Other way is to cook the grated radish with some garam masala/coriander powder etc, till the water is evoparated and you end up with some dry mixture. This mixture you can put inside the dough ball and roll (stuffed paratha)As you would be trying something new, I would suggest go for the first version (second one needs a bit more skill)

Preparation time: 20min

Cooking time: 20min

No. of servings: 2

List of ingredients:

  • Mooli(Radish) - 3 medium sized
  • (you can use finely chopped green chillies instead of chilli powder)
  • 2-3 tbsp oil
  • Atta (wheat flour) - 2 cups
  • .
  • Optional :
  • Cumin powder - 1/2 tsp
  • Coriander powder - 1 tsp

Cooking procedure:

* Grate the radish.
* Mix the grated radish with all the other ingredients, and leave it aside for 30-45 minutes. (Radish leaves lot of water, so do not add any water at this time.)
* Knead the flour mixture till you end with something similar to roti dough. Add little water if necessary.
* Take a small portion of this, roll it out in round shape and a slighlty thicker than the normal roti.
* Make sure that the pan (flat) is heated before you put the paratha on it. Cook on both sides with some oil/ghee (~2 tsps)
* Just before serving you can put a tsp ghee over the hot paratha.

Additional Tips:

Serve with some gravy curry. Or with veg/boondi raitha. This even tastes better with mango pickle (aam ka achaar)

Mooli Paratha

Preparation time:

Cooking time:

No. of servings: Not applicable

List of ingredients:


    Cooking procedure:

    Mooli Paratha Radish filled Indian flat bread 3 cups wheat flour 1 lb. Raddish - white or 2 cups grated Radish 1 teaspoon Red chili powder 1 teaspoon Ajwain (carom seeds) 1 Onion - medium 1/4 th cup Cilantro leaves 1/2 teaspoon garam masala 2 tablespoons butter salt, to taste 1/2 cup butter or oil Mix flour, butter, and salt thoroughly in a bowl and then add sufficient water to make dough, knead for 5 minutes, cover and keep aside for 15 minutes. Finely chop the onion and coriander leaves.

    Wash the radish and grate using a vegetable grater. Add a teaspoon of salt to the grated radish, mix well and keep aside for 3-5 minutes. Now squeeze out the water. To the squeezed radish, add garam masala, chili powder, chopped onion, coriander, and carom seeds. Mix well.

    Divide this mixture into 1 inch sized balls. Keep aside.

    Divide dough into slightly larger than 1 inch size balls, flatten each ball into a circle. Place the grated radish balls at the center of the flattened dough.

    Then, gently stretch the dough to envelope the mixture completely, such that all the edges meet at the top of the dough ball. Using your fingers seal the dough well so that all the stretched up edges blend into one.

    Dust with some flour and roll out the dough into a circle.

    Heat a frying pan and when frying pan is very hot, place the rolled out dough on it. Leave for a minute and now turn over. After a minute or so the paratha will slowly start to bubble up. Now drizzle one teaspoon of melted butter or oil onto the top of the paratha and turn over. The paratha immediately starts to rise. Repeat the drizzling with melted butter or oil on this side too. Turn over again and let it rise once more. When golden brown on both sides, remove from frying pan and serve immediately!

    Hi, 500 g chapati flour pinch salt Tepid water 3 tablespoons grated mooli 3 tablespoons melted vegetable ghee

    Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl. Gradually add tepid water to form a stiff dough. Knead for 10 minutes. Wrap dough in cling film and leave in a warm place for 30 minutes. Unwrap and knead for a further 10 minutes. The dough should be firm, but yielding and quite elastic.

    Pinch off a knob about the size of a large walnut and roll flat and round. Brush one side with melted ghee and fold in two to form a semi-circle. Roll this shape until thin again, brush with ghee and sprinkle a little grated Mooli on one quadrant. Fold again and roll flat to form a rounded triangular shape - this is the traditional shape of Paratha.

    Fry the bread in ghee over medium heat until golden brown and flaky. Repeat until all the dough is used.

    As with other flat bread, Paratha can be wrapped in a stack in a tea towel and re-heated in a microwave oven for a few seconds before serving.

    Mooli Paratha make an excellent snack on their own or the perfect accompaniment to meat or vegetable curries. http://www.recipecottage.com/indian/mooli-paratha.html
