Craving to  have  delicious paratha in the breakfast !  if some extra calories are nagging you then  Stop worrying!! Mooli Paratha can be a best option for you to satisfy your crave .
Radish can fills your tummy without giving you extra calories. White Radish (Mooli/Daikens) offers many healthy and  nutritional benefits.It is rich in Folic Acid,Vitamin C,Zinc,B-complex vitamins & phosphorus.It is also very effective in Cancer fighting, Jaundice,Weight loss,Skin disorders, Kidney disorder,Fever,Bronchitis,Asthama,& many more.
         

Today, I am going to share a very simple & quick method  to cook Mooli Paratha. Many people make stuffed mooli paratha but my mother developed her own style... to make it more tastier & healthier. She used to knead dough with grated Radish(mooli) & Its own water extract (Lots of people generally squeeze out water from the grated radish so they loose all the vitamins & minerals of radish).

Ingredients -

• White Radish(Mooli/Daikens)-medium size -2 (1/2k.g)
• Salt- 1/2 t.s or as per your taste 
• Coriander leaf (chopped)-1cup
• Green Chilli (chopped)
• Ajwaine(Trachyspermum ammi)-1/2 t.s

Method-

Peel  and Grate Radish.Add Salt, Ajwaine, Chopped coriander leaves and Green Chilli. Mix it well & keep it aside in a airtight jar for one hour as water will ooze out from the grated Radish.

Sieve the wheat flour,mix it with grated Radish  with its  exuded water  and  make a dough. 


Heat the tawa, Roll dough in the size of  Roti.  place  roti on the tawa .Apply oil/ghee on  both sides, bake it well from  till its gets crispy.  

Served it with tea & pickles.

Happy Cooking!!!
