Purple Radish Paratha

Remember a few days ago there was a mystery file to be solved ?Here is another recipe with that mystery veggie....

The vegetable that I mistook for beetroot and later that it was purple carrot and finally found out that it was purple radish went to the Paratha that I made.No difference in the method but the result was definitely colorful...These parathas are slightly thicker than Chapathis....



I used:

Whole wheat flour- 3 cups
Purple radish-1,peeled and grated
Cumin seeds-1 teaspoon
Black sesame seeds-1 teaspoon
Salt to taste

1. Take all the ingredients in a large bowl.
2. Make a well in the centre and pour little water.
3. Knead well and add water in small batches to make a firm dough.Knead again for 5 minutes.
   
4. Cover and let it rest for at least half an hour.
5. Knead again and pinch out golf sized balls and roll out into roundels .Use a little flour to dust if its sticky.
6. Heat a griddle and cook the parathas till brown spots appear on both the sides.

Serve hot with a side dish of your choice...

Purple Radish Paratha served with Kadalai Kuzhambu and Tomato sesame chutney

Note:

• You can use the regular radish instead of purple radish.
• I did not use oil to cook the Parathas.
  

Bon Appetit...
