Ingredients: 4 medium sized radishes/ muli (white), 3 cups wheat flour, 1 cup besan or gram flour, 3 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp red chilli powder, 1 tsp garam masala, 2 tbsp finely chopped coriander, 2 finely chopped green chillies, 1 tsp sesame seeds, 1 tsp cumin seeds, 1 tsp asafoetida, salt to taste, 2 tbsp oil

Preparation Time: 30 min (prepares about 12 parathas)

Recipe:

1. Peel off the radishes and grate them in food processor.

2. Take a mixing bowl. Add the grated radish, wheat flour and gram flour to this. Add all the other ingredients except for oil.

3. Now add about 1 tbsp oil to the mixture. Mix it well and try to form a big tight lump. Radish leaves water, so ensure that the lump is very tight or else it will be a problem to roll out parathas later. If you feel water should be added to form dough, then add very small quantity of water. The dough will look like that shown in pic.

4. Keep it aside for 15 min so that the flavours of spice get absorbed well by the dough.

5. Heat a non- stick pan at low gas. Take ½ tbsp oil and massage the dough so that it doesn’t stick to hand. Make small balls of approx 2.5- 3 cm each. Take a cup of wheat flour extra in a plate to roll the balls.

6. Roll out a round paratha with each ball using rolling pin. Put the paratha on the pan. After a min turn it over. Allow cooking for a min and again turn it over again. Keep the gas at medium flame now. Spread 2 -3 drops of oil on the top side and turn it over. Again add 2-3 drops of oil and turn over. Take off the paratha and keep it on a net (so that while cooling off, the steam passes through and the paratha does not get soggy).

7.  Do step 6 until all balls are used.

8. Serve the parathas hot with your favourite raita!
