Easy Mooli Paratha Recipe Without Stuffing

Mooli Paratha is a whole-wheat flour flatbread made with radish and some Indian spices. Mooli in Hindi means radish, and paratha is an unleavened flatbread made of whole wheat. As the paratha is made of radish, it is called Mooli ka paratha.

This is another type of paratha from Punjabi cuisine, usually served with curd, pickle, chutney, or butter. They are commonly made for breakfast but can be enjoyed at lunch or dinner.

There are two ways to make this mooli ka paratha. The radish stuffing is wrapped in a small layer of dough, and the paratha is rolled (usually how we make aloo paratha), or the radish with the other ingredients is added directly to the flour to make a dough, the paratha is rolled out and toasted with clarified butter(ghee).

The first method is the traditional method, but it is not easy to make the paratha in this method. Radish has lots of water content;
When you try to roll the paratha with the radish stuffing inside, it releases moisture, making it slightly tricky to roll the paratha, and the radish stuffing sometimes tends to spread out.

I am sharing the second method which is very easy and quick to make. In this method, also you need to follow some tips to make perfect mooli parathas.

1. Always take fresh and tender radishes, or else you may find it slightly tricky to grate them.
2. Add salt to the grated radish and let it rest for 20 minutes.
3. Drain and squeeze all the excess water from the radish before adding it to the wheat flour.
4. Do not add water while kneading the dough. Slowly radish will start releasing water. Knead the dough with this released water. 
5.  After kneading the dough, do not give a rest. Immediately start making the parathas. Radish has high water content, and it may release water which may result in a more soft dough, making it difficult to make the paratha easily. 
6. Be careful while adding the salt. 

1. Many people don’t prefer eating these parathas, but I loved this healthy Muli Paratha. The aroma of radish and ghee toasted together fills the house when this Punjabi Mooli Paratha cooks in the pan. These Mooli parathas are so aromatic and flavourful that even your neighbor can enjoy this aroma. These Dhaba Style Mooli Parathas are delicious and mouth-watering; you can’t resist having them.

• 1 tsp Garam masala 
• 2 tsp Salt

• Take two white radishes and wash them with water. Cut the front and back ends of the radish. Peel off the skin.

  Tip* – Do not add any additional water to knead the dough.

• Pinch a medium size ball of dough, roll, and flatten it.

• After one minute, flip the paratha when the base is partly cooked.

Notes
