Why Mooli Paratha Is a Must-Try Dish
1. A Classic from Punjabi Kitchens
Mooli Paratha has its roots in Punjabi cuisine, where stuffed parathas are a staple food. The process of grating fresh radish, mixing it with green chilies, coriander, and spices, then stuffing it into whole wheat dough, creates a dish that is rich in flavor and tradition.
What makes it unique is the balance of slightly pungent radish, the heat of Indian spices, and the soft texture of the flatbread. It's a comfort food that many Indians grow up eating, especially during the cold season.
2. Health Benefits in Every Bite
Radish is a low-calorie vegetable that is high in fiber and vitamin C. When paired with whole wheat and cooked with minimal oil or ghee, Mooli Paratha becomes a healthy and satisfying meal.
Aids digestion: Radish is known for its digestive properties.
Supports immunity: Rich in antioxidants and vitamin C.
Heart-healthy: Whole wheat contains dietary fiber and minerals.
Diabetic-friendly: Low glycemic index when consumed in moderation.
How Mooli Paratha Is Made
Step 1: Grate the Radish
Fresh white radish is peeled and grated. It's then squeezed to remove excess water, which helps prevent the paratha from becoming soggy.
Step 2: Mix the Filling
The grated radish is mixed with chopped green chilies, coriander leaves, carom seeds (ajwain), red chili powder, turmeric, and salt.
Step 3: Prepare the Dough
Whole wheat flour is kneaded into a soft dough with a pinch of salt and a little oil. The dough is allowed to rest for 15–20 minutes.
Step 4: Stuff and Roll the Paratha
A portion of dough is rolled out, stuffed with the radish mixture, sealed, and rolled again into a flat disc.
Step 5: Cook on Tawa (Griddle)
The paratha is cooked on a hot griddle with ghee or oil until both sides are golden brown and crisp.
The final product is a fragrant, spicy, and satisfying paratha that’s best enjoyed hot off the tawa.
