Ingredients
  

For the Dough

  • 2 cups atta or whole wheat flour
  • ¼ to ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • water as needed to form supple dough

For radish filling

  • 1 white radish (mooli, daikon), large
  • 1-2 green chili peppers finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • salt to taste
  • oil for cooking

Instructions
 

  • Knead the dough by mixing flour, and salt, and adding water little by little until you form a soft and pliable dough. Set aside.
  • Grate the white radish and squeeze the water from it with a cloth.
  • Add chopped green chillies, ground spices and salt to the grated mooli.
  • Now pull out a lemon-sized ball from the dough and roll it out into a small circle, about 5 cm on a flat floured surface.
  • Take 1-2 tbsp or two of the radish filling and place it in the middle.
  • Fold and join the edges with your fingers, press it down and seal it tight.
  • In the meantime, heat a griddle or flat pan. Roll out the stuffed dough ball in a round shape.
  • Add some oil to the pan and place the paratha in the centre, keeping it at medium-high heat.
  • Spread a generous amount of oil to cook the parathas. You want golden brown spots and light puffing up.
  • Flip the paratha a couple of times until the parathas are cooked evenly. Finish up the rest of the parathas the same way.
  • Serve Mooli Parathas hot with hot mango pickles or salted and spiced yoghurt.
