Mooli ka Paratha/Radish Paratha/Mullangi Chapathi

Ingredients for stuffing
Grated radish-1cup
Green chillies-3
Finely chopped onion-3tablespoons
Amchoor powder/Dry mango powder-1/2teaspoon
Chilly powder-1/2teaspoon
Turmeric powder-1/4teaspoon
Cumin seeds-1/2teaspoon
Chopped cilantro-1tablespoon
Salt
For paratha
Whole wheat flour-11/2cups
Ghee-1teaspoon
Salt
Water
Method
Peel and grate the radish. Squeeze out the water completely. [Reserve the water to knead the dough]
Take the grated radish, chopped onion, dry mango powder, chilly powder, cumin seeds, salt and chopped green chillies in a pan and start cooking.
Saute until the radish becomes dry and the raw smell of the spice powders are gone. (say 4 to 5 min. on low medium heat)
Finally add the cilantro and let it cool.
Take the whole wheat flour,  salt and ghee in a bowl. Mix it with your fingers, add the water reserved from the radish and normal water little by little, knead the dough as we make it for roti.
Keep it covered for at least 1/2 hour.

Make equal sized balls out of the dough. Roll them into small circles, flatten the edges with your fingers. Keep 2 teaspoons of stuffing in the center, seal it up nicely.
Repeat the same with all the dough and stuffing.
With the help of dry flour, roll the parathas into thin discs. Heat a griddle, and cook the parathas by drizzling oil/ghee/butter on both sides.
Soft and delicious Radish parathas are ready to serve. Enjoy them with plain yogurt or pickle.

Note
Be carful while grating-squeezing out the water from the radish. Some vegetables are really hot and make your fingers burn! ;)
