Mooli Paranta

Everyday i think what should i make for dinner sometimes i repeat the same thing twice a week. To avoid that i have made a timetable for the whole month! So every monday is parata day :) kiddos sure love it! This time i decided to make mooli parata.

I have been thinking to try it for a long time.. but never did get a chance.. I went thru Srivallis Roti Mela  i came up with a recipe which was a mix of all mooli parantas! LOLs!!!

i added  2 cups of aata, 2 cups of grated mooli, 1 tsp each of ajwain and til, salt to taste, little bit of red chilli pwdr and turmeric powder and kneaded into a dough. i kept the dough for 1 he before i made rotis. 

 

How to prepare Lauki parata

my picky eater son loves paratas only because i give him ketchup and dahi to eat with it! LOL!! so i try out varites of paratas so that he'll eat some veggies!!

i was thinkin gto make palak parata today but then i thought i'll make lauki.. may be in few days i'll make palak roti or parata..

this is what u'll need for the parata...

1 1/2 cups of grated lauki
2 cups aata
1/2 tsp jeera
1 tsp ajwaaii
2 tbsp oil
1 tsp red chilli pwdr
1/2 tsp turmeric pwdr
salt to taste


First squeeze out all the water from Lauki.

Heat oil in a kadai or pan and add jeera.

when the jeera is done add the chilli and turmeric powder.

Just when the masalas is a little brown add the lauki and cook for 2-3 mts.

when its cool mix the lauki to aata,ajwaaii, salt and knead to a dough.

roll out as normal rotis and cook on a tawa।
