| Mooli ke Parathe/ Raddish Paratha Indian Flat Bread |
“Roti khayenge?” Which will translate to,” will you have food? ”
Diversity is what India is all about not only in regions, languages but
also in food. But this is a question you will definitely hear in North India!
People will welcome you to join them for a meal.
Everyday food in India has good health packed in its ingredients and is
a complete meal by itself. You will have proteins, carbohydrates, fats and
vitamins minerals and water when you have an Indian meal especially when you
have a home cooked Indian meal.
I have already written about Indian flatbreads. Interested?
In my place we have chapatti every day; rice is made only on
demand. I prefer to make paratha to
chapattis.
Mostly I make the kinds in which the flour is mixed with the vegetables
or dal.
The girls of course prefer the
aloo paratha! The complaint is mooli paratha or methi paratha?? And they dig
in.
Mooli ke Parathe/ Raddish Paratha
Ingredients:
- 2 cups whole wheat flour/atta+ for application
Mooli ke Parathe/ Raddish Paratha Indian Flat Bread - ¾ cup white radish, grated

- 1 ½ tsp chilli powder
- 1 tsp dhania/ coriander powder
- 1 tsp jeera/cumin powder
- A pinch of chat masala
- 1 tsp oil

- Mix the grated radish, radish leaves salt and all the dry powders in a bowl. Knead and combine well. Let it stand for a few minutes to ½ and hour.

- Roll out each portion thinly into a circle, using a little whole wheat flour for rolling.
- Heat a non-stick tava/skillet and cook each paratha, using ¼ tsp of oil, till they turn golden brown in colour from both the sides.
- Keep aside to cool slightly.
Variation:
Methi parathas:
- You can use 1 ½ cup of chopped fenugreek (methi) leaves instead of white radish and radish leaves for the above recipe.
