Mooli Paratha How to Make Mooli Parathas | Radish Paratha

Now with the start of winters I always feel like having Pratha in morning but somehow with lack of time it’s usually on weekends .Mooli Pratha was something which was always made in our house like in many Punjabi homes. Mooli paratha. I was not so much into cooking before marriage but now I can cook various Pratha’s like Ghiya Pratha / Bottle Gourd Pratha ,Methi Parathaand all kind ofPrathas While making Mooli Pratha make sure you grate it and squeeze the juice from the grated mooli. otherwise the parathas might break.  Mooli juice can be used knead the dough for making parathas.  Ingredients :-  For making the dough

1. 3 cups wheat flour

5. Oil to cook

Method :-

1. Make the whole wheat dough and keep it aside.
2. Grate the mooli/radish and keep aside for 10- 15 minutes. Squeeze the water from it. this is done so that the mooli parathas do not break while rolling the dough. this radish juice can be used to make the dough instead of water.
