Ingredients
Filling
Dough
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1 tsp Onion Seeds
- 2 tbsp Oil for the dough
- Oil as needed, for cooking the parathas
Instructions
- Grate the radishes. Using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, squeeze out as much excess water as possible. This step is crucial for preventing a soggy dough.
- In a large bowl, combine the grated radish, chopped green chili, chopped cilantro, and salt.
- Add the whole wheat flour and onion seeds to the radish mixture.
- Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the dry ingredients. Gradually add water, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until smooth. This develops the gluten and results in softer parathas.
- Divide the dough into equal-sized balls.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough ball into a thin circle using a rolling pin.
- Heat a griddle or flat pan over medium heat. Add a little oil to the hot surface. Cook each paratha for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown spots appear and the paratha is cooked through. Serve hot with your favorite accompaniments.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- After grating the radish, sprinkle a little salt over it and let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then squeeze out all the excess water. This helps prevent the parathas from becoming soggy and makes the dough easier to handle.
- If you enjoy extra crunch, try mixing a small handful of finely chopped radish leaves or spring onions into the stuffing for added flavor and texture.
- To achieve an even, golden crust, brush each paratha with a touch of ghee or oil only after both sides are partially cooked, then continue to roast until crisp and aromatic.
- For a vegan version, simply use oil instead of ghee for roasting, and serve with your favorite non-dairy yogurt or spicy pickle.
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, try adding a tablespoon of grated ginger or a pinch of asafoetida to the radish stuffing.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when roasting the parathas. Cook them in batches to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- Experiment with different flours! While whole wheat flour is traditional, you can also try using a combination of whole wheat and all-purpose flour, or even add a bit of chickpea flour for a nuttier flavor.
Storage Instructions
- Leftover parathas can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day, or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them on a dry skillet or in a toaster oven until warmed through and crispy.
