Mooli Paratha | Mullangi Paratha | Radish Parata

Jump to Recipe

Mooli Oaratha or Mullangi Paratha is a stuffed paratha that is a filling meal by itself. Radish Parata can have just yogurt or a pickle on the side for a complete lunch or dinner.

Any stuffed paratha is considered a full meal in my household. Stuffed parathas are very filling and they have the vegetable and the spices in them. This makes it a main dish and these hardly need any side dish with it.

My kids have their little space in the backyard where they grow some vegetables (glad we are in inspiration to them). Radish, turnips, and carrots are something that they mostly grow in their bed.

My kids love radish in sambhar and any subzi, so they often ask me to make something with radish. Hence I make this paratha very often. All they need is a bowl of yogurt with it and they are done. I am choosing this recipe as my third dish for the BM under the theme Main Dishes.

Making mooli paratha could be slightly tricky since the water content in radish is very high. If we are not careful when kneading the dough and add a little too much water, the dough could become very sticky and it will be hard to roll.

Hence I always grate the radish and then toss the flour in with it and leave it aside for few minutes. Then I sprinkle very little water and then knead the dough.
