Wondering how to make mooli paratha? The recipe is easy and doesn’t require much time to cook. Here are the step by step directions to prepare mooli paratha.

• Take 1.5 cups of whole wheat flour and a teaspoon of oil in a large bowl. Add water slowly till the dough mixes properly.
• Knead it thoroughly to form a soft dough. Transfer it to a container, apply few drops of oil on top, cover it and keep it aside for 15-20 minutes.
• Peel the radish and then grate it with the help of a grater. Transfer the content to a bowl and add a pinch of salt and leave it for 15 minutes.
• After 15 minutes, you can observe that the radish has released some amount of water. Remove this water and then press the grated radish to remove the water content altogether.
• Transfer the squeezed mooli to another bowl. Add coriander powder, ajwain, chopped cilantro, and garam masala.
• Mix all items thoroughly. The stuffing is ready. Do not add salt now.
• Cut the prepared dough into 5-6 balls equally. Take one dough ball and roll into a circle and apply one drop of oil throughout. At the same time, heat the tawa on medium flame.
• Keep approximately two tablespoons of stuffing at the centre and scatter the salt on top of the stuffing. Don’t fill too much, or else it would be tough to roll.
• With the help of a rolling pin, turn the dough into a round shape of approximately 7-8 inch diameter. Apply equal pressure throughout while rolling.
• Place the other rolled dough on top of stuffing. Take all the edges together and compress it to close the edges.
• Place the rolled paratha on the hot tawa. Put one spoon of oil and fry for a few minutes. Turn this and apply oil on the other side as well. Press with the help of a spatula and fry on both sides till golden brown spots appear. Follow the same procedure for remaining dough balls.
• Serve this hot and delicious mooli paratha with any side of choice.
