I crave for seasonal things all the time, say it vegetables or fruits. Horse radishes are fresh during winter , so thought of putting one of them in wheat flour dough which turned out to be nice and soft parathas filled with tempting smell and the satisfaction(my first cooking teacher) doubled when my ma appreciated it.
Ingredients(7 servings):
- Wheat flour, 1 and 1/2 cup
- Horse radish, shredded, 3/4 cup
- Chopped Radish leaves, 1 handull
- Chopped coriander leaves, 4 tbsp
- Chopped green chillies, 2 tbsp ( you can add more green chilles if you want it to be more spicy)
- Coriander powder, 3 tsp
- Garam masala powder, 2 tsp
- Roasted cumin powder, 2 tsp
- Kahmiri red chilli powder, 2 tsp
- Salt to taste
- Sugar, 2 tsp
- Curd, 2 tbsp
- Vegeable oil (I used soybean oil), 1 tbsp for frying each paratha+1 tbsp for kneading the dough
Methods:
Combine together all the ingredients and oil as mentioned for dough. Then add water as required to knead into dough.
Make a little more than medium balls out of dough androll them semi-thick into 6" diameter. In a griddle cook raw paratha on it till white patches appears on both sides. Do the same with all other parathas.
| Now in griddle add 1 tbsp oil and fry one paratha at a time. I played a trick here, that was, I added 1 and 1/2 tbsp oil and fried two parathas at a time, as I always do. Make sure that the flame is low or else the parathas will harden making them hard to tear with your fingers or teeth. Fry till blight brown patches appear on both the sides. This will nearly take 1 min for each paratha. |
Remove from flame and enjoy this hot parathas with curd or pickle.
I tried it with Tarka dal.
- You may use red radish instead of white radish.
