• 3-4 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon dry mango powder

» For Cooking the Mooli Paratha

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

» Make the Dough

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine wheat flour and salt. Mix well. Gradually add water and knead into a soft, pliable dough. Add a bit of oil and spread it over the dough. Cover it with a damp tissue or cloth and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.

» Make the Filling

1. Peel the radishes and grate them using a grater or food processor. Squeeze out excess water thoroughly.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated radish with ginger, green chilies, coriander leaves, black salt, dry mango powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, salt, and carom seeds. Mix well.

» How to Make Mooli Paratha

1. Once rested, knead the dough lightly and divide it into equal-sized portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball.
2. Dust one dough ball with dry flour and roll it into a small disc. Place 2-3 tbsp of the mooli filling in the center. Bring the edges together and seal the filling completely to form a stuffed ball.
3. Dust it with dry flour and gently roll it into a paratha, ensuring the filling stays intact.

» Cook the Parathas

1. Heat a tawa or skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled paratha on the hot tawa. Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles appear. Flip and apply ghee or oil on the cooked side. Flip again and apply ghee/oil on the other side. Press the paratha lightly with a spatula for even cooking. Cook until both sides are golden brown and crispy. Repeat the process for all the mooli-stuffed parathas.

» Serving

1. Your delicious mooli parathas are ready. Serve them hot with yogurt, pickle, or a dollop of butter and enjoy the cozy warmth of homemade Mooli Parathas this winter!

RECIPE NOTES
