Mooli ka paratha
(Grated Daikon stuffed paratha)
Mooli
ka paratha is a whole wheat Indian bread stuffed with grated spicy mooli. Mooli
is also known as Daikon or radish. North Indians eat Mooli ka paratha during
the winter months when mooli are widely available. Mooli ka paratha is a one
dish meal it does not need any side dish, it could be served with yogurt and
pickle. This is one of the most favorite breakfast paratha. Mooli ka paratha is
prepared with whole wheat flour dough and stuffed with grated and squeezed Mooli,
to make it tastier you can add chopped green chili, chopped onions and spices
in the stuffing which enhance the taste of the paratha.
Ingredients for stuffing:
2 Medium size Moolies (daikon) 1 Medium green chili- fne chopped ½ Teaspoon red chili powder 1 Teaspoon cumin powder 1 Teaspoon coriander powder 1 Pinch of asafetida (Hing) 2 Tablespoons fine chopped coriander leaves 1 Teaspoon salt or to your taste Vegetable oil for making the parathas Ingredients for dough: 2 Cups of whole wheat flour ¾ to 1 Cup of water or as needed for making the dough Cooking measurement conversion Measurement converter |

2. Take some extra flour in a plate for dusting.
3. Knead the dough with wet hands for a minute, and then roughly divide the dough into 10 equal parts without forming into the balls. (size of the balls depends how thick you want to make the parathas)
4. Dust your hands lightly with the extra flour and take a portion of the dough and roll it in between your palms in to a ball.

5. Place the ball of dough into flour and press flat, dusting on both sides.
6. Now place the dough on the rolling board or chackla (Indian roti rolling board) and with the help of a rolling pin roll into a thick small circle.

7. Now place about 2 to 3 teaspoons of stuffing in the centre of the circle.
8. Fold the edges inwards like you do in a dumpling, ensuring that no filling is
exposed.
9. Place the stuffed ball into the flour and press gently, dusting on both sides.
10. Now place the ball back on the rolling board, and vary gently roll the ball in
to a 6” circle or as you prefer, dusting when required.
11. Keep in mind that stuffing should not come out and it spread evenly all through if little bit stuffing comes out do not get panic it require little practice.
12. Now pick the paratha, pat between your hands for few seconds to shake off the excess flour. Place the paratha on the hot greased griddle, and let it cook.
13. In about 30 seconds the little bubble will start appearing, with the help of the spatula turns the paratha over to the other side and cook for 30 seconds. If the paratha sticks to the tava (griddle), it is not hot enough, if it is too dark or burn it means it is too hot adjusting the heat accordingly.
14. Drizzle ½ teaspoon of oil over the paratha and with the spatula spread evenly, and then turn it over to other side, drizzle and spread ½ teaspoon oil, and cook.

15. With the spatula press down gently all over the surface of the paratha in circular motion on both the sides to make it crispy. Keep flipping the paratha back and forth few times for 3 to 4 minutes or until both sides become light brown and you have the desired crispness take the paratha off the griddle. Serve paratha hot.
Tips:
1. If you have trouble rolling the stuffed ball of dough, then make two thin 6 inches roties, add the filling to the one roti and spread all over the surface then cover it with the second roti, gently with the palm press the paratha to let the air out, then with the fingers press the edges to seal and vary lightly roll the paratha a little so that stuffing settle down in the paratha, then lift the paratha and place over the hot griddle and follow the above process for cooking.
2. Make extra parathas for later use.
