Radish Paratha

Radish Paratha

Ingredients

Wheat Flour Dough
½ cup Red Radish grated
1 tsp Coriander Powder
1 tsp Red Chilli Powder
1 tsp Turmeric Powder
1 pinch Asafoetida
½ tsp Cumin Seeds
Salt to taste
Coriander leaves for garnish

Method
For stuffing
Mix all the ingredients. Radish has natural water content, so you will require less water while kneading the dough. Add some wheat flour, make a proper stuffing so you can roll out a paratha.  Take a medium sized ball of dough on the rolling board dusted with wheat flour, roll the dough to make medium size paratha and put the stuffing on the paratha. Place another paratha and roll it again. Take care that they stick together. The parathas have to be rolled gently. Roast till both the sides of the paratha are golden brown. Apply ghee or oil on the paratha and serve hot.

Note

We need not boil or cook the radish. Using it directly retains its taste.
