Mooli Paratha

Mooli ka Paratha (मूली का परांठा) is a yummy whole wheat paratha stuffed with shredded mooli (Radish) and various spices. This is another exotic paratha from Punjab cuisine. This is served with curd, pickle and any curry. My husband prefers this paratha with aloo tamatar curry along with coriander chutney. It can be consumed during breakfast, lunch or dinner whenever you want.

In winters our heart crave mooli ke parathe. This veggie actually gives your health quite a boost. Mooli (radish) is very nutritious and healthy. Mooli is full of dietary fibre, which helps with digestion issues. If you have enough mooli salad every day, your bowel movement will be smooth. It cures piles and constipation. It is full of vitamin A, C, E, B6, potassium, and other minerals and can give your whole body an immunity boost.

When we grate mooli and add salt, it release lots of juice. So at first squeeze the grated mooli to remove excess water before stuffing it. You can use this juice while kneading the dough because it has nutritious property. Some people also mix the grated mooli with flour while kneading the dough and some people sautéed the grated mooli with spices before stuffing so that all moisture will go away. You can try the way that you want.
