- Also add chopped green chillies and coriander leaves.1 Green Chilli, 1/4 Cup Coriander Leaves (Cilantro or Dhaniya)
- Mix the radish with the flour well with your hands. Then add water slowly as needed 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 rest for 10 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 8-10 portions and make small balls with them. Take one portion and dust it with wheat flour.
- Flatten them into round discs using a rolling pin and a board. Now you can cook this paratha as is, or make layers as shown below for a more crispy and flaky texture.
- To start layering the mooli paratha, apply some oil or ghee on the upper side of the paratha.
- Then fold the paratha into half (semicircle). Apply some oil again on the upper side.
- Now fold to make a quarter circle. The paratha will be roughly in triangular shape. Some people also like to layer it to make a square shape.
- Dust with wheat flour again and start to roll the paratha gently.
- Flatten it in a triangular shape. Make all the parathas this way.
- Heat a tawa or girdle and put the paratha on the tawa. Use medium heat at first and cook it for 1-2 minutes.
- When the paratha is cooked from one side, reduce the heat and turn the paratha.
- Apply oil or ghee on the top while the lower side cooks. Again turn the paratha 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.
