Ingredients
For the Dough
- 1 cup Radish grated and squeezed
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1 tsp Onion Seeds
- 1 tsp Flax Seeds ground
- 1 tbsp Pickle Oil
- 1 tbsp Chili finely chopped, green
- 2 tbsp Coriander finely chopped, fresh
- 1 ½ tsp Salt or to taste
For Cooking
- Oil for shallow frying
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated and squeezed radish, whole wheat flour, flaxseed powder, onion seeds, chopped green chili, chopped coriander, pickle oil, and salt.
- Mix the ingredients thoroughly until a smooth dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes soft and pliable.
- Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a thin, circular paratha using a rolling pin.
- Heat a flat griddle or tawa over medium heat. Place a paratha on the hot tawa and cook for about a minute per side, or until small bubbles start to appear.
- Drizzle a little oil on the paratha and flip it over. Cook the other side until light golden brown spots appear. Applying oil helps achieve a crispy texture.
- Flip the paratha again and cook for another minute, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking. Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls.
- Serve the hot, soft Mooli Parathas with your favorite pickle or chutney. They are also delicious on their own.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Be sure to squeeze the grated radish well, or you may have trouble forming the dough.
- For softer parathas, add a couple of tablespoons of the reserved radish juice back into the dough along with the water.
- To add extra flavor, include a tablespoon of chopped fresh mint or dill along with the coriander.
- If making a vegan version, ensure your pickle oil is dairy-free, or substitute with mustard oil.
Expert Tips
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a finely chopped green chili to the dough.
- Radish greens can also be finely chopped and added to the dough for extra nutrients and a subtle peppery flavor.
- Experiment with different flours! Try a mix of whole wheat and all-purpose flour, or even add a bit of chickpea flour for a nuttier taste.
Storage Instructions
- Wrap leftover parathas in a clean kitchen towel and store in an airtight container.
- Reheat briefly on a skillet or over an open flame to restore their softness and warmth before serving.
