Step By Step Instructions for Mooli Paratha Recipe
 

  • Take whole wheat flour and besan (gram flour) in a wide bowl.
    2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour (Gehun ka Atta), 1/4 Cup Besan (Gram Flour)
  • Also add red chilli powder, saunf (fennel seeds), ajwain (carom seeds) and salt to the bowl. Mix all the ingredients.
    1 Teaspoon Red Chilli Powder, 2 Teaspoons Saunf (Fennel Seeds), 1 Teaspoon Ajwain (Carom Seeds), 1 Teaspoon Salt, or as per taste
  • Rinse the radishes thoroughly. Peel and grate them and add them to the flour mixture.
    2 Medium Sized Daikon Radish (Mooli), grated
  • Also add chopped green chillies and coriander leaves.
    1 Green Chilli, 1/4 Cup Coriander Leaves (Cilantro or Dhaniya)
  • Add water slowly and knead to make a soft dough. Take care not to add too much water since the radish will leave some water.
  • Let the dough sit for 10 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into 6-8 equal parts.
  • Make small balls and flatten them using a rolling pin and a board.
  • Apply some oil or ghee on one side of the paratha. Then fold the paratha into half (semicircle). Apply some oil again and fold to make a quarter circle.
  • Flatten it again in shape of triangles.
  • Heat a tawa or girdle and put the paratha on the tawa. When the paratha is cooked from one side, reduce the flame and turn the paratha.
  • Apply oil or ghee on the top. Again turn and apply ghee on the other side as well.
  • Cook this way on low heat, till both sides turn golden brown. The paratha should become crispy from outside and soft & cooked from the inside.
  • Mooli paratha is ready. Serve it hot with plain yogurt, raita, pickle or green chutney.
