Mooli paranthaIngredientsFor the Dough1 cup whole wheat flour (Chapati flour), 1/2 cup water or as much needed to make a smooth soft dough, 1/4 tsp salt , 1tbsp + 1tsp oil
For the Stuffing2 heaped cups of grated mooli (radish), 1/4 small onion finely chopped (optional), 1-2 green chillies finely chopped (or to taste), 3-4 tbsp coriander leaves finely chopped, 1/2 tsp red chilli powder (or to taste), 1/2 tsp amchur powder, 1/2 tsp cumin seeds (zeera) powder, 1/2 tsp garam masala, salt to taste.
How to makeTo make the doughIn a bowl add the wheat flour, salt and 1 tbsp oil. Give it a quick mix. Now slowly add little water at a time and keep kneading to make a smooth dough. Now add the remaining 1 tsp oil and give it a final knead and cover and let it rest covered on the counter top for 15-30 mins.
To Make StuffingGrate the radish using the large hole grater. Squeeze off all the water either with hand/muslin cloth or potato press. Then add the water drained radish to a clean bowl and to it add the onion, green chillies coriander leaves and all dry spices like red chili powder, cumin seed powder, coriander powder and dry mango powder followed by garam masala and salt. Give it all a good mix. Stuffing is ready.
To make the Mooli ParathaDivide the dough into 5-6 parts. Take one portion of the dough and roll it into a 4' diameter circle using rolling pin and some dry wheat flour. Apply some ghee at the center of this circle and place 2-3 tbsp of the stuffing on it. Bring all the ends together and seal tightly. If there is some additional dough at the peak after sealing, remove it and flatten the stuffed dough ball.
Dip the stuffed dough ball into the wheat flour and keeping the joined ends part facing upwards roll it into 6' diameter circle. Use wheat flour to roll as required.
Heat a flat tava (griddle) on medium heat, once hot put this rolled paratha on it. Cook for about a minute and then flip. While the other side is cooking, apply some ghee/butter/olive oil on the side facing up. Again flip and cook the side with butter/ghee/olive oil till its well done and golden in color.
Repeat the process for other side too. Once both sides are well cooked remove from griddle. Repeat the entire process to make remaining parathas.
