Mooli Paratha
Mooli Paratha is one dish which I make very frequently. Though it needs little patience to make and time, it tastes great and also healthy breakfast or brunch or dinner as you like. Last time when I went to India , I learned this and a variety of dosa which Iam going to blog soon, from a good cook who was appointed for few days at my mothers' place.
Knead the dough with sufficient water not too hard nor too soft and keep aside for 1/2 hr.
This makes parathas fluffy and soft.Add some oil for in the dough, to knead it again to make soft rounds.
Make equal medium sized rounds as shown in beside picture.
Method For Making Parathas:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Take one round of kneaded dough and with the help of chapathi rolling pin (bellan) roll the dough into puri sized circle.Fill the stuff into the above flatten circle and close all ends with the help of little water as shown in beside picture.Repeat with all other rounds of dough.
Now take each filled round and flatten for the size of paratha. i.e., it should not be too thin that stuff comes out nor too thick that paratha does'nt cook well.
Heat a heavy griddle (thawa or penam), when hot cook the paratha on each side . Add little oil on top of each side and spread the oil.
Paratha should cook well on both the sides. Cook on medium heat to avoid burning or over cooked paratha. Before removing from heat , spread little oil to the side, which will be folded inside. Serve with fresh chilled curd or with any chutney.

Mooli paratha looks delish!
I have always made these parathas by folding the radish mixture in the flour directly never tried by stuffing it rather.
Yours look great though..

To Anonymous,
yes they taste great..but they should be taken immedietly after preparation that too with curd.Unlike other parothas, gobi & aloo paratha, palak paratha.this is not suitable for lunch or tiffins.Try to eat fresh when they are prepared to enjoy mooli taste:-)
