Steps for Mooli Paratha Recipe

Step 1- Dough Preparation

• Measure the Flour: Start by measuring out 2 cups of whole wheat flour (atta) and placing it in a mixing bowl.

• Add a Pinch of Salt: Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the flour. Salt is added for flavor, so use it according to your taste preference.

• Knead the Dough: Gradually add water to the flour while kneading it. Start with about 1/2 cup of water, and add more as needed. Use your fingers to mix the water into the flour, and continue kneading until a dough begins to form.

• Knead Well: Knead the dough thoroughly for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, you can sprinkle a bit more flour to make it manageable. If it's too dry, add a little more water.

• Rest the Dough: Once the dough is well-kneaded and smooth, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out. Let it rest for about 15-20 minutes. This resting period helps the dough relax and become easier to work with.

• Dough is Ready: After resting, your dough is ready for making cheese parathas. It should be soft and pliable, making it easier to roll out and stuff with the Mooli filling.

Now that you have prepared the dough, you can proceed with assembling the Mooli parathas as mentioned in the previous responses, including rolling out the dough, adding the Mooli filling, and cooking the parathas to perfection. Enjoy your homemade Mooli Paratha Recipe Parathas!

Step 2- Mooli Paratha Filling Preparation

To prepare the stuffing for mooli ka paratha, follow these steps:

Grate the Radishes:

• Start by washing and peeling the radishes (mooli). Then, grate them using a fine grater.

Squeeze Out Excess Moisture:

• Place the grated radish in a bowl and sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon of salt over it.
• Allow the grated radish to sit for about 10-15 minutes. This will help release excess moisture from the radish.
• After resting, squeeze out the excess water from the grated radish using your hands. You should get rid of as much moisture as possible. Place the squeezed radish in a separate bowl.

Season the Stuffing:

To the squeezed radish, add the following ingredients to season the stuffing:

• 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to your spice preference)
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 2 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to your spice preference)
• 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped
• Mix all the ingredients well, ensuring that the spices are evenly distributed throughout the radish.

Your mooli (radish) stuffing is now prepared and seasoned. You can use this stuffing to fill your parathas following the steps mentioned in the previous response for making mooli ka paratha recipe.

Step 3- Final Preparations

Certainly, here's the final step for making Mooli Parathas:

Assemble and Cook the Parathas:

• Take one of the rested dough balls and flatten it slightly with your fingers.
• Roll it out into a small disc (approximately 4-5 inches in diameter) using a rolling pin and a dusting of dry flour to prevent sticking.
• Place a spoonful of the prepared Mooli filling in the centre of the rolled-out dough.
• Bring the edges of the dough together to encase the Mooli filling and seal it properly.
• Flatten the filled dough ball slightly with your fingers.

Cook on a Hot Griddle:

• Heat a griddle or tava over medium-high heat. Once it's hot, gently place the stuffed paratha on it.
• Cook for about 1-2 minutes until you see bubbles forming on the surface.

Flip and Cook:

• Flip the paratha using a spatula and cook the other side. Apply a little oil or ghee on both sides while cooking to make the paratha crispy and golden brown.

Cook Until Golden and Crisp:

• Continue to cook, flipping as needed, until both sides of the paratha are golden brown and crispy.

Serve Hot:

• Transfer the cooked Mooli Paratha to a serving plate.
• Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls and Mooli filling to make more parathas.
