Servings: 6 parathas
Calories: 160.21kcal
Ingredients
- ¾ cup grated white radish
- 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
- 2 green chillies finely chopped
- ½ cup fresh dill leaves chopped
- salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (or any cooking oil)
- water as needed for kneading
- all-purpose flour for kneading, resting, and rolling
- ghee for roasting
Instructions
- Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the grated radish and set aside for at least 30 minutes.
- Squeeze out the excess moisture from the radish using your hands, collecting it in a bowl for making the dough. Repeat until the radish is almost dry.
- In the bowl containing squeezed-out water, combine salt, flour, radish, chopped leaves, and green chillies.
- Knead the mixture thoroughly and add water gradually if needed to form a soft, non-sticky dough. Coat the dough with flour and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Grease your palm with oil and knead the dough lightly. Divide it into 6 to 7 equal-sized balls, dust each with flour, and keep them covered. Preheat a tawa (griddle) over medium to high heat.
- Dust your rolling pin and work surface with flour, then gently roll each dough ball into approximately 6-inch discs.
- Place a rolled paratha onto the hot tawa and cook over medium to high heat. Drizzle 1 to 2 teaspoons of ghee on both sides, flipping the paratha until evenly cooked and golden brown.
- Stack and store in a cloth-lined bread basket and serve immediately with lime pickle, yoghurt or any dal curry.
Notes
Optional method: Opt for spreading ghee over the rolled dough, then fold it into squares or triangles. Roll again for a delightful, layered paratha experience.
