- Prep time: 20 minutes
- Cook time: 15 minutes
- Total time: 35 minutes
- Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 cup Hathi Brand 100% Whole Wheat Chakki Atta.
- 1 medium white radish (mooli), peeled and grated.
- 2 green chilies, finely chopped.
- 1 tsp ginger, grated.
- 2 tbsp fresh coriander leaves, chopped.
- ½ tsp ajwain (carom seeds).
- Salt to taste.
- Water, as needed (for dough).
- Ghee or oil for cooking.
Method
- This prevents the filling from becoming soggy.
- In a mixing bowl, combine grated mooli with green chilies, ginger, coriander, ajwain, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, knead Hathi Brand Whole Wheat Chakki Atta with a bit of water and a pinch of salt to form a soft, smooth dough. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a small disc.
- Place a spoonful of the mooli mixture in the center of the disc, gather the edges to seal it, and gently flatten it into a ball.
- Carefully roll out the stuffed ball into a medium-sized paratha, dusting with dry atta if needed.
- Heat a tawa and cook the paratha on both sides until golden brown, brushing lightly with ghee or oil.
- Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Serve hot.
Pair this paratha with mint chutney or fresh curd, and sip on some chilled buttermilk or lemonade for the perfect summer combo: homemade, hearty, and full of love!
